### Regency (41AU - 42AU)

At 41AU, King Baekar I died of the Coldwater disease, leaving the throne to a twelve-year old Herryn. His mother, became Queen Regent and formed a regency council to rule in Herryn's name till he came of age at 42AU. During the regency, not much progress was made in Crown's Port development, unlike during the reign of King Baekar. Queen Dana planned a coronation tour for the king, for after he was coronated. Herryn became rebellious during this period. Sources say that he felt imprisoned by his mother and saw the regent council as a "council of leeches and serpents" trying to take advantage of the relatively powerless king. As the year of 41AU came to an end and Herryn turned thirteen, he dismantled the regent council and sent his grandmother, Helena Snow, and his younger brother, Percy, to Sea Smoke castle.

### Reign

Herryn's reign begun with a great investiment in the unfinished works of his father, completing wells and upgrading the Red Guard outposts spread around the capital. The king also built a tournament arena inside the Crownfort, as he sometimes he got too ill to leave the castle. The king did not cancel the tour, even though he was bedridden, in turn, he sent his brother, Percy with his mother and grandmother to travel through the Royal Lands.

The most notable event that happened during Herryn's reign was a succession war for the Byocean leadership, which ended after two months of conflicts, by the order of King Herryn. The family would split in two branches: Byocean of Goldentooth and Byocean of Esmeraldina. To seal the pact, Percy was betrothed to the a twelve year old girl named Aerea Byocean, but the marriage was never accomplished. Another major development during his reign was the first designs of a set of roads binding the kingdom together.

### Death and Succession

The cause of death was simple flu, that took advantage of the king's failing health. His death was shocking to all of his subjects. Dowager Queen Dana, reformed the regent council and voted on the matter of succession: her eldest daughter, Amber or her younger son, Percy. The council voted on Percy to succeed him.
