The year 143 AC brought instability to the Sisters when Lord Maron Sunderland drowned and his young son Gelion inherited under regency. A later Longthorpe attempt to seize the boy-lord showed how uncertain Sunderland authority had become in the first weeks of his rule.
Day 5: Lord Maron Sunderland drowned while swimming off the coast of Sweetsister. His twelve-year-old eldest son, Gelion, succeeded him under the regency of his mother, Lady Albetha Grafton.
Day 26: Men of House Longthorpe attempted to seize the young Lord Gelion Sunderland as he sailed between Longsister and Sweetsister. Gelion escaped, and Lady Albetha soon sent him to Gulltown to serve as squire to his uncle, Lord Grafton.
