## Background

During the **Eastside Revolt**, a notable knight of **Oldtown** by the name of Ser Cole saved the life of the **Lord Elric Payne**, the son of the **Ruling Lord of House Payne**, **Lord Olton Payne** in battlefield, and was rewarded with a small holding by the **East River** Bank and subsequently came into the service of **House Payne** as Lord Elric's bodyguard and enforcer.

In 108 CE, Ser Cole accompanied Lord Elric all the way down to **Rogertown**, which served as military camp for the **Kingdom of Estonia** against the war with rebels and outlaws in the **Battle of Green Woods**. During the battle, Ser Cole had the honor to fight alongside noblemen and knights of notable vassals to the kingdom, including **House Reddrow**, **House Crowrich**, **House Dayne**, and **House Rogers**, where Ser managed to slay a hundred men and the commander of the rebel army, cutting off the backbone of the rebellion, for which Ser Cole earned himself the name "**Ser Cole the Death Priest**".

Following the **Battle of Green Woods**, the kingdom faced another rebel threat by the southwestern ports where rebels of the **Westernlands** marched on to the South Port and held Lords of Claymore Bay hostage. A large army led by House Dayne, House Crowrich, House Rogers, and **House of Tuscany** marched an army down to the South Ports to confront the rebel army, where Ser Cole and Lord Elric Payne marched down with a hundred bannermen alongside **House Padbury** with fifty or so men. The Battle of South Port waged on from 108 CE to 109 CE. The war ended with three skirmishes, where Ser Cole managed to slay the opposing champion, while Lord Elric wounded himself in order to kill the champion. However, Lord Watson Rogers, Ruling Lord of House Rogers lost the skirmish to the opposing champion. The war with the rebels ended with a five-year peace pact between the **Westernlands** and **Easternlands**, and the vassal armies returned home, while Ser Cole returned home as hero of the war.

Following the Victory of the South Port Rebellion, Ser Cole founded **House Cole** in September 109 CE with a small holding by **East River** Bank, standing banners of House Payne.
