The unofficial 'first Rih' of Faneria was [[Ruaridh Màrtainn]], Prince of Cheatharnaich, a powerful principality centered on [[Cancale]] resting along the northern bank of [[Caileansriver]] buttressed to the north by the Deamhainn Mountains. Ruaridh had the good fortune, or perhaps planned, to inherit the city of [[Connsmonandún]] and the Principality of Mhartainnvail (then only [[Caileansdún]] and its surrounding regions, not the entirety of the modern province) from his brother and uncle, who were killed by a rival prince during a war over several vassal states. Ruaridh took the opportunity to expand his holdings, waging several wars of conquest against his own vassals to absorb their titles for himself. | The unofficial 'first Rih' of Faneria was [[Ruaridh Màrtainn]], Prince of Cheatharnaich, a powerful principality centered on [[Cancale]] resting along the northern bank of [[Caileansriver]] buttressed to the north by the Deamhainn Mountains.

Ruaridh's firstborn son, [[Rethys Màrtainn]], crowned himself ''Rih de na Fhainn'' three years to the day after his inheritance, prompting a war between himself and the Principalities of Cionhaen, Dinan, and Brynmawr which became known as the [[Fhainnin Crown Wars|Crown Wars]]. Rethys proved an able commander, in part due to a large contingent of veteran *ardceiternn* cavalry, and seize additional territories, vassalizing Dinan and Brynmawr and forcing Cionhaen to acknowledge his self-proclaimed title of "King of the Fhainn" in 1398. | Ruaridh's firstborn son, [[Rethys I of Faneria|Rethys Màrtainn]], crowned himself ''Rih de na Fhainn'' three years to the day after his inheritance, prompting a war between himself and the Principalities of Cionhaen, Dinan, and Brynmawr which became known as the [[Fhainnin Crown Wars|Crown Wars]].
