The Riverlands describes the area of Westeros that stretches from the boundaries of the Neck to the north, the mountain ranges to the west and the east, and south down to the mouth of the Trident and the Gods' Eye. In the past, the boundaries of the Riverlands have spread even further, including all the lands between the Bay of Crabs and the Blackwater Rush. Due to its position in relation to other realms and regions, the Riverlands are famed for their long history of conflicts and upheaval. | The Riverlands describes the area of Westeros that stretches from the boundaries of the Neck to the north, the mountain ranges to the west and the east, and south down to the mouth of the Trident and the Gods' Eye.

The Riverlands are defined by the Trident and its three forks, and the countless tributaries which spread through these lands like veins through a single body.<ref>George R. R. Martin, The World of Ice and Fire, (London: HarperVoyager, 2014) p. 151.</ref> Navigating the rivers has thus become a key part of Riverman culture, not only for transporting goods and people, but also in religious rites and ceremonies. There are few natural borders to the Riverlands, which has oft contributed towards their continued susceptibility to invasions and instabilities. | The Riverlands are defined by the Trident and its three forks, and the countless tributaries which spread through these lands like veins through a single body.<ref>George R.
