Chapter 12: The Tides of the Riverlands (Part 1)
The journey into the Riverlands marked a significant step in Janerys Targaryen's mission to unite the North against the impending White Walker threat. With Sansa and Arya Stark by his side, they rode through the fertile plains and alongside the meandering rivers that defined the region. It was a land rich in resources, but one that had borne the brunt of the wars that had ravaged Westeros.
Their first destination was Riverrun, the ancestral seat of House Tully. Janerys had heard tales of the Tullys' unwavering commitment to family and their determination. Sansa and Arya's mother, Lady Catelyn Stark, had been a Tully by birth, and her legacy lingered in the walls of the castle.
Upon their arrival, they were greeted by Ser Brynden Tully, also known as the Blackfish, the fiercely independent uncle of Catelyn Stark. He was a grizzled warrior, known for his unwavering loyalty to House Stark and his tactical brilliance.
Ser Brynden was skeptical of Janerys's mission and questioned the existence of the White Walkers. He argued that the Riverlands had suffered enough from the wars of the past and needed to prioritize their own survival. However, Sansa, with her diplomatic skills and heartfelt plea, managed to sway the Blackfish to their cause. He agreed to lend his support, provided they could secure the backing of other Riverland houses.
Their next stop was Harrenhal, a massive and foreboding castle with a dark history. It had once been the seat of House Hoare, but its legacy was one of tragedy and ruin. Janerys, Sansa, and Arya arrived to find the castle occupied by House Whent, its current custodians.
Lady Shella Whent, the head of House Whent, welcomed them but voiced her reservations about committing her forces to the Northern cause. She was haunted by the castle's dark history, and the specter of the War of the Five Kings had left scars on her lands.
Janerys, ever the diplomat, offered assurances of their commitment to peace and unity. He understood the weight of the past but emphasized the urgency of the looming White Walker threat. After much deliberation, Lady Shella Whent agreed to pledge her support, a significant step in their mission.
Their journey through the Riverlands was far from over. They still needed to secure the allegiance of other houses, and the political landscape was treacherous, with rivalries and grudges that ran deep. As they rode on, Janerys couldn't help but reflect on the challenges ahead and the fragile threads that held Westeros together.
Their quest to unite the North was a daunting one, and time was running out. The tides of the Riverlands carried them forward, each encounter with a new house bringing them closer to their ultimate goal—the survival of Westeros in the face of the White Walker threat.
