The Riverlands

The Riverlands is a central region of the continent of Westeros, consisting of the fertile areas between the forks of the Trident. It is ruled from Riverrun by House Tully. The Riverlands is not considered one of the traditional Seven Kingdoms, as at the time of Aegon's Conquest the territory was controlled by the Iron Islands.

Because of its central position in Westeros, the Riverlands has been a frequent battleground. The people of the Riverlands are known as "rivermen" and are a mixture of hardy warriors, peaceful fisherfolk and devout smallfolk. Bastards born in the Riverlands are given the surname Rivers.
