	Delanro began reforming many of the city's trade laws, but heavily taxed the upper and lower classes of the city. Furthermore, he established [[the Order of the Golden Coin]] in {{NCYear\|568}}, which was intended to be an extension of the Guard that would seek out and capture those thieves who preyed on the merchants of the city. The Order had many of the same rights as Feldan's Warders, though they were not allowed to execute a criminal who surrendered to them. Delanro died of old age in 582 NC, and his throne passed to his eldest son, [[Anatole Delane]]. Anatole's coronation was confirmation of the legacy of Delanro, and [[House Marn]] was officially recognized as a noble house. Anatole's reign was long and fairly unremarkable, though he did repeal many of his father's more restrictive laws against those classes not of the merchant sector. His most notable act was constructing a Temple to [[Minos]], god of commerce, in his last decade of office, establishing that Church as a power in the city. When he died in {{NCYear\|622}}, his son, [[Bartas]], was recognized as the new Neptarch by the Archbishop. Bartas proved to be a weak-willed and ineffectual ruler of the city. House Rimman coerced him into marrying [[Diaman]], daughter to the head of [[House Rimman]]. Two days after the birth of their first son, [[Xaphargus]], Bartas died in his sleep in {{NCYear\|631}}. Some suggest that Diaman strangled him herself.		Delanro began reforming many of the city's trade laws, but heavily taxed the upper and lower classes of the city.

	Competition began almost immediately for the position of Regnant. Some of the noble houses even took to the streets, fighting with hired men and fomenting riots.

Xaphar quickly showed himself to be a tyrannical and unjust ruler. He issued new laws during the trials of his allies and his enemies meant to assist or hinder the efforts of the individuals on trial. He also reestablished [[the Warders of Neptaris]] and wrote laws to support them that gave them more power than even Feldan had. Xaphar executed people easily, which gained him the support of some of the more sadistic members of the clergy of [[Cthos]], but alienated most of the other clergymen (particularly the clergy of [[Clementia]]). Xaphar also started a war of conquest against [[Kamaria]] in 642 NC in which Xaphar proved to be a much more capable military leader than a civil ruler. His success against the Kamarians led to an increase in the man's already over-inflated ego and he began to invite members of his court to watch the battles with him. His pride would result in an end to the rulership of House Rimman and plunge the city into decades of civil war.		Competition began almost immediately for the position of Regnant.
