    Riverrun is the ancestral seat of House Tully, situated at the junction of the Red Fork and Green Fork of the Trident River. The castle is located in the heart of the Riverlands, surrounded by lush, fertile land and rolling hills, making it a strategically important stronghold for controlling the waterways that wind through the region. The riverbanks are dotted with reeds and willow trees, and the tranquil sound of the flowing river often fills the air, creating a sense of peacefulness despite the region’s turbulent history.

    Riverrun itself is an imposing fortress, built from large gray stone, and designed to be as defensible as it is functional. Its walls are thick and high, with towers that rise above the surrounding lands, allowing it to monitor the vital rivers that flow through the Riverlands. The most notable feature of the castle is its position near the convergence of the two great forks of the Trident, where the land narrows and creates a natural defensive position. The river plays an essential role in the castle’s defenses, with the water itself providing a barrier on two sides.

    The interior of Riverrun is both practical and welcoming, with the central courtyard filled with trees and flowers, and the Great Hall serving as the heart of the castle. The hall is a place where the Tullys host feasts, hold councils, and welcome visitors. Tapestries of the family’s history adorn the walls, showcasing their long-standing rule over the Riverlands. The chambers of House Tully are modest but warm, with stone fireplaces crackling in the colder months. It is a place of strength and tradition, with every part of the castle reflecting the values of the Tully family—loyalty, honor, and duty.

    The surrounding land is a patchwork of farmland, orchards, and small villages, all of which are under the protection of House Tully. The fertile soil of the Riverlands provides ample crops, and the rivers are teeming with fish, ensuring that the people of Riverrun remain well-fed and prosperous. However, the land
