The Riverlands

The fertile, fought-over forks of the Trident.

The Riverlands are the populous, fertile lands around the forks of the River Trident in Westeros. Central and without natural defences, they lie between the Westerlands, the Crownlands, the Vale and the North and have seen frequent war.

Quick Facts

Rivers: The Trident
Lords at the conquest: House Tully (after Harren the Black)

Lore & Background

Because of this they changed hands between kingdoms instead of becoming an eighth kingdom of their own. Benedict Justman first united them, but his dynasty died out three centuries later.

Reader's Guide

Illegitimate children born in the Riverlands take a surname that shows their origin, as is the custom across Westeros.
