Rivermark
The southern reaches of the Riverlands have already fallen to Andal warriors, led by King Armistead Vance. After failing to take Duskendale, he landed at the mouth of the Blackwater Rush with a host of warriors and marched north into the fractured petty-kingdoms. This land is now called Rivermark and his seat was once Atranta but is now called Vancemark.[1]
Not far from these contested lands lies the Gods’ Eye, the great inland lake of the Riverlands, famed for the Isle of Faces at its center. Here the Pact between the First Men and the children of the forest was signed, and the Green Men were sworn to guard its weirwoods.[2] In summer its waters gleam blue-green in the sun; in winter they harden to a pewter hue “like cold steel.”[3] Travellers warn of odd, shifting currents and “hungry fish” lurking in the deep.[4]
