The treacherous cliffs of Mountains of the Moon has protected the castle and its people. Thousands of years ago, House Arryn, one of the oldest lines of Andal, constructed the Eyrie over generations. The Eyrie, a name spoken with pride among the Knights of The Vale, and one that greatly troubles its enemies. Countless kings great and small have sought House Tully's support. Riverrun may not be as spectacular as other castles in Riverlands - even the destroyed Harrenhal is ten times larger - but it remains a strategic location in times of war. Today, the castle still stands after the Tullys have ruled the Riverlands for 300 years. That was when the Tullys laid the first stone of Riverrun at the junction of Tumblestone and Red Fork. They fought with the First Men and built the Seven Kingdoms. The Andals came from The Vale a thousand years ago. What lies behind House Tully's popularity among their bannermen and their proclamation of ''family, responsibility and honor'' throughout Riverlands, is their reliance on the strong castle Riverrun. Although the Builder's story has faded from the people's minds, and the Andals have succumbed to Blood and Fire, House Stark continued to watch over The North.īecause they firmly believe that winter is coming.

House Stark from the line of the Builder have been ruling this land ever since. This is how the castle in The North came about. He wanted his descendants to keep an eye on their enemy who is asleep in the Lands of Always Winter. This sad truth urged Brandon to take root in this freezing Northland. Heroes who fought against the evil could no longer return. When that happens, the people would have already forgotten about the nightmare. With the terror of the Long Night still fresh in his mind, Brandon knew that it will be back one day. The Long Night may have ended and the Wall have rose from the ground, but Brandon the Builder did not stop there. The Alliance that occupies and rules a Castle gains the support of its subjects as well as the bonuses and buffs the Castle provides. They represent the honor, power and wealth of the great houses.
