Riverlands

Line 79:

The war erupted during a false spring, but when the winter snows returned, many of the Horn and Royce warriors withdrew, leaving the struggle to the Riverlander themselves. After many bloody battles, it was King Tristifer ''“Justheart”'' who ultimately prevailed.

In summer, the realm was swept by a storm of war. In the Rivermark, the First Men rose in rebellion against the harsh rule of King Armistead III Vance, who forced followers of the River Gods to convert to the Faith of the Seven. At the same time, the [[Green Men]] unleashed a terrible plague near Lavehaven, which spread across the Rivermark. In the River and the Hills, Elsa Mudd summoned a vast army of the undead, bent only on bringing ruin in the name of the Deep Ones. Their devastation was great, and it took the combined strength of all the River and the Hills, together with [[House Corbray]], to bring them down.

With summer’s end came yet more war. In autumn, King Armistead III denounced King Robert Lannister as a false follower of the Seven, accusing him of consorting with the Ironborn before being betrayed by them. Armistead rallied the Riverlands and struck at the Westerlands, but the united hosts were defeated. In the aftermath of this failure, King Armistead descended into madness, slaying his own queen and daughter. When he turned upon the crown prince, Lord Florian Den Ford intervened to protect the heir and slew the king.
