## History

### Origins

In 102 CE, a revolt led by outlaws in northeast of Southshire occurred. A group of mercenaries led by **Lord Darren** and **Ser Jaskier** arrived in Rivermont to crush the revolt. Following the defeat and execution of outlaws, the five of sixteen mercenaries decided to remain in **Southshire** while the rest returned to the Free Cities with their payment. Among the five mercenaries who remained were knighted and became sworn swords to **Lord Darren**.

A year later, to the southeast of **Rivermont** faced another threat, near the ruins of a former village. Lord Darren gathered his men and led an attack on a group of outlaws regrouping encamping at the ruins of the former village, defeating them. To fortify Rivermont by the southeast, Lord Darren by royal decree rebuilt the former village, renaming it *"***Wood Hedge***"* and appointed his sworn swords as the **First Townsguard of Wood Hedge**. while he became its Garrison Commander.

### Lordship

In 104 CE, a sworn sword of Lord Darren, Ser Dafyn Rivers rose to the rank of sergeant officer of the Townsguard and became Captain of the Townsguard by the **Summer of 104 CE** after protecting the lord's son from a mercenary ambush during a hunt.

In 106 CE, Lord Darren was appointed as the Sheriff of Rivermont and left Wood Hedge with his family and guard for Rivermont. With need of a strong garrison at Wood Hedge, Lord Darren appointed his sergeant, **Ser Dafyn Rivers** as Lord of Wood Hedge by royal decree of and vassal to House Lychester of Rivermont to safeguard the southeast entrance of **Rivermont**, who later founded **House Rivers of Wood Hedge** in the **Summer of 106 CE**.
