Though Jaime had entered the Riverlands as an outsider, he came to be respected among the Mudds, even besting King Tristifer in a duel and earning a place at his side in war councils. No other Andal was so trusted; Tristifer allowed Jaime’s septons and septas to preach freely in his lands, an exceptional privilege. Yet not all was well. | Though Jaime had entered the Riverlands as an outsider, he came to be respected among the Mudds, even besting King Tristifer in a duel and earning a place at his side in war councils.

The bond between Mudd and Farring began to fray during the tense negotiations with Armistead Vance over the fate of [[Roslin Mallister]] and her children. Jaime urged compromise, but Tristifer refused. The final breach came when Aldhelm [[House Darklyn|Darklyn]] insulted Jaime during a meeting at the Crossroads Inn. Jaime challenged him to a duel; Aldhelm refused. | The bond between Mudd and Farring began to fray during the tense negotiations with Armistead Vance over the fate of [[Roslin Mallister]] and her children.

When war erupted again, Jaime did not answer the Mudd call. Instead, he marched against [[House Nutt]], whose magnar was his own kinsman, Throst Farring’s nephew and a grandson of King Tristifer IV. But Jaime never reached the field. He drowned under mysterious circumstances, and command of the Farring host passed to Throst. Rather than continue the campaign, Throst laid down his sword. | When war erupted again, Jaime did not answer the Mudd call.
