♛ ASOIAF | Regions ♛ The Riverlands
Much history—rife with both glory and tragedy—has been made in the lands watered by the river Trident and its three great vassal streams.Stretching from the Neck to the banks of the Blackwater, and east to the borders of the Vale, the riverlands are the beating heart of Westeros. No other land in the Seven Kingdoms has seen so many battles, nor so many petty kings and royal houses rising and falling. The causes of this are clear. Rich and fertile, the riverlands border on every other realm in the Seven Kingdoms save Dorne, yet have few natural boundaries to deter invasion. The waters of the Trident make the lands ripe for settlement, farming, and conquest, whilst the river’s three branches stimulate trade and travel during peacetime, and serve as both roads and barriers in times of war.

Why does tragedy exist? Because you are full of rage. Why are you full of rage? Because you are full of grief.

I keep wondering, how many people do you need to be, before you can become yourself.
Iain Thomas, I Wrote This for You (via wordsnquotes)
It had been awhile since Harry had felt at ease at a social event. Ever since his legitimization, his schedule had been filled with ‘quaint gatherings’ that were anything but, ‘delightful evenings’ that felt like torture, and ‘modest dinners’ which contained more courses than he could count. The load had lightened slightly after leaving the Reach soon after the doomed wedding, determined to keep a low profile (something that proved a smart idea, as while other were off being ransomed by Ironborn, Harry was at home in Stonehedge, continuing on with daily life), but as things returned to normal and people began to settle, Harry’s father had insisted that he rejoin the ranks of other Lords and Ladies in King’s Landing for the events celebrating the hostage’s returns. --- But as he looked around the dimly lit but nicely decorated tavern, rented out by the Vale’s own Young Falcon, he thought this could be an event he could enjoy.
Despite his fondness of surroundings (a tavern? felt very familiar), Harry’s blue eyes could be seen constantly flicking towards the door, with every coming and going. He had expected to see her at the event the day before, held by Queen Cersei, as he expected Laenah would most certainly attend the proper, sanctioned event. But either she had not made an appearance or the two had missed each other. So there Harry sat, rather hopelessly staring at the door, hoping that her nostalgia for their shared time in the Vale would lead her to the door of a Valeman’s party.
He had no idea what he would say to her, if she were to show up. He had left rather quickly after the wedding--after going back for her at the wedding-- so quickly, it was almost rude. He had stayed around just long enough to count her as safe in his mind before he was off on his horse, sprinting down the Roseroad.
His eyes roamed the face of every woman who passed by, somehow wanting to believe that he had just missed her entrance. But none passed the test, although the more ale he drank, the more they all started to look more and more like her.
