Ruaridh's firstborn son, [[Rethys Màrtainn]], crowned himself ''Rih'' of the Ninerivers on the day of his inheritance, prompting a war between himself and the | Fhainnin politics of the Christian era were largely centered on the power struggles between Princes (Dochann), who were independent feudal overlords of various territories across the Ninerivers and eastern Vandarch regions. Many of these called themselves King (Rih) of their local region, but none claimed to be King of the Ninerivers, as that bore an implicit declaration of supremacy over the rest of the Princes. | ||
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 which stretched his influence towards the [[Rhydwel River]]. | |||
Ruaridh's firstborn son, [[Rethys Màrtainn]], crowned himself ''Rih'' of the Ninerivers on the day of his inheritance, prompting a war between himself and the Principalities of Cionhaen, Dinan, and Brynmawr. 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". | |||
