The Riverlands Reborn (Fire & Blood VRR)

| By History of Westeros

The Riverlords kneel to Aegon the Conqueror just outside of still-smoldering Harrenhal, and he bestows new titles and castles while dividing the kingdom of Isles of Rivers. As the Riverlands is reborn again, we take a look back 400 years to the last time they were ruled from within, and a war that pitted House Blackwood and the Storm King against the King of Rivers and Hills.
