Riverlands

The Riverlands are a large region in western Westros which are created from thousands of islands that stretch throughout the land. Created from the destructive forces of one of the minor cities of the Empire of Numeron which suceeded in holding off the noble Numenorians and destroying the city and thereby creating thousands of islands which have become the home of the Brann, and Gothic Germanic tribes. The Riverlands are also a province within the Kingdom Of Lucerne and the province follows the historical bounderies of the region.

House Tully

House Tully is the principal house of the Riverlands in Westeros. Their seat is Riverrun, and their sigil is a silver trout leaping on a blue and red striped field. The keep of Riverrunstands where the Tumblestone River meets the Red Fork of the Trident, and from there House Tully watches over its lands. The riverlords joined the Labeouf's against Harren the Black, and were given dominion over the Trident in return. They are an old line dating back to the Age of Heroes as Lords of Riverrun but were never kings.

House Tully was once Atlantian in origin but throughout the generations they have become a mixture of Atlantian and Brannish blood due to intermarriages. Along with this they along with basically the entire Riverlands are followers of R'hllor which is a religion that entered Europe through a small tribe of humans from Nord America. Under control of the Riverlands House Tully has been a major proponent of R'hllor, and have attempted to make sure that even as a member of the Kingdom of Lucerne they do not allow the region's religion to change.

Lord Hoster Tully remains the Lord of both the Riverlands, and House Tully following the annexation of the Riverlands by the Kingdom of Lucerne.

Riverrun

Riverrun is the seat of House Tully. It is a large castle located in the central-western part of the Riverlands. It sits at the joining of a tributary to the Red Fork. In times of danger, sluice gates can be opened to flood a channel cut to the west of the castle, turning Riverrun into an island. Its walls rise sheer from the waters and its towers command the opposite shores, making assaulting it almost impossible without huge casualties.

Riverrun was built as a capital for the Riverlands by the ancient members of House Tully who even while the Riverlands were controlled by a series of other houses held the castle, and thus controlled the island itself of Harroway. When House Tully took control of the Riverlands the island of Harroway the place where their control was highest became the central point of growth in the RIverlands and during this time Riverrun itself became especially large with a garrison of some 3,000 men at its lowest point. Following the annexation of the Riverlands into Lucerne the castle of Riverrun became the seat of the Lords of the Riverlands, and as such is a Lords town for the Lucernians.
