### Early life (24 BSB - 18 BSB)

The Empire of Shale arrived at Fjorson on M10-19 21 BSB beginning the Siege of Fjorson. On M10-26 21 BSB a shell fell through the roof of the dinning room and exploded whilst dinner was going down. The explosion killed Cage's grandfather and the Native Governor of Frothfryke Rictor Henderson and heavily wounded Cage's father. The province's forces surrendered after Rictor's death. Cage Henderson along with the rest of his surviving family were placed into the prison of the city's fortress.

On M12-20 18 BSB, the Empire of Shale ended their invasion and placed part of their territory under the control of native vassals and another part under direct control of the former King of Ryevornia Pied I. On M12-27 18 BSB, Pied I had the remaining members of the Henderson family released and gave Wayne Henderson the newly created Duchy of Frothfryke to rule in his name.

Cage's father Wayne Henderson died on M10-30 2 ASB from wounds he had sustained during the Siege of Frothfryke. After his death Cage become the new Duke of Frothfryke.

### Duke (2 ASB - 66 ASB)

On M7-04 7 ASB the Kingdom of Clayistria invaded the Duchy of North Vetchinia and the Duchy of Jianshore, Cage Henderson along with his dukes of Clayistan condemned the invasion though all opted against military action due to certainty that Clayistria would win against any singular duchy. The Duchy of North Vetchinia surrendered to Clayistria on M8-30 7 ASB and the Duchy of Jianshore surrendered on M9-23 7 ASB.

Cage's son Manfred Henderson was born on M12-10 8 ASB.

Cage's second son Richard Henderson was born on M12-02 11 ASB.

On M6-27 12 ASB the Kingdom of Clayistria launched an invasion of both the Duchy of Eastpike and the Duchy of Iron Lake. At first Henderson did nothing other than condemn the invasions but by M8 of 12 ASB the forces of Eastpike and Iron Lake had began pushing into Clayistria. On M8-03 12 ASB the Duchy of Vooncharia joined the war in support of the two duchies in an attempt to capitalize on the recent victories, this was followed on M8-08 12 ASB with the Duchy of Terracotta joining the war. Henderson had his duchy join on M10-14 12 ASB. By M2 of 13 ASB all of the independent duchies of Clayistan were moving against Clayistria (this did not include the two independent duchies based in the Purple Isles).

By 14 ASB the advance of Henderson and his allies had slowed down and in some areas been pushed back, this was due to the lack of unity between the various armies. A conference was held in Jarnvattan on M4-04 14 ASB to address the issue. The conference concluded on M4-12 14 ASB and had resulted in the formation of the Unified Clayistan Army (UCA) which had the Duke of Iron Lake Ebony Basil as its supreme commander and the various dukes as its field marshals.

A ceasefire was negotiated between the duchies and Clayistria on M1-22 16 ASB, the issue then came up on how to divide the land that was presently occupied by the UCA, the debate lasted over four months and ended on M5-28 16 ASB when the dukes came to an agreement. The UCA would be split in two with one half continuing to serve as the UCA and the other half being further split in seven, two sevenths would be given to the Duchy of Iron Lake and the remining five sevenths would be distributed to the other duchies save for the Duchy of Eastpike. Ebony Basil would resign as the supreme commander of the UCA in favour of Ethan Gilbert, Basil would then become one of the UCA's field marshals to replace Ethan Gilbert. All eight independent duchies would cease to be independent and would unify into the Kingdom of Clayistan with Ebony Basil serving as the first King of Clayistan, the duchies from that point on would be Clayistan's internal regions. The agreement took into effect the next day, with Ebony Basil becoming Argilla I after the Estuarian Emperor who created the position of Native Governor.

Argilla I died on M6-25 21 ASB and was succeeded by Cage's brother-in-law Victory Basil who took the regnal name Victory I.

On M3-22 31 ASB Victory I left Jarnvattan in a convoy for the Count of Ackanalund Usman Mosley's palace in the Kingdom of Clayistria, he brought with him his wife and Cage's sister Karen Basil, his son Hector Basil and the Chief Advisor of Clayistan Barchairi Splintle among others. Victory I's brother Brett Basil was to be radioed daily of the convoy's progress as he would be the highest ranking capable member of the House of Basil in the country. Communications between Brett and the convoy stopped on M3-28 31 ASB, Brett traveled to Jarnvattan the next day on the possibility that something horrible had happened and that he would have to take over the country as its regent. On M4-10 31 ASB Brett Basil announced that Victory I had been killed and that his family had been executed. Outrage spread through the kingdom.

The day after Victory I's death had been announced Cage was contacted by Brett Basil over radio. The regent asked Cage whether or not he would recognize Victory I's infant son Lorenzo Basil as the King of Clayistan. Cage explained to him that as much as he would like to see his nephew on the throne he knew that Clayistan needed a strong adult ruler to be able to avenge the murder of the ruling family.

On M8-26 31 ASB Brett Basil made a public announcement to the dukes of Clayistan where he told them that an advisor named Evannaron Splintle had forced him out of Jarnvattan but he had managed to recaptured the city. He went on to say that on that day he would declare himself the King of Clayistan and have his armies march on the Kingdom of Clayistria to "both avenge [his] brother and to recover his body" he went on to state that he cared very little about whether or not the holy men supported his. Later that day Brett Basil declared himself King of Clayistan as Claysius I and ordered his armies to march on the Kingdom of Clayistria. Cage Henderson recognized the move immediately and ordered his armies to do the same. By M8-30 31 ASB all of the dukes of Clayistan had recognized Claysius I as their king.

Cage Henderson died on M9-28 66 ASB.
