Game of Thrones: King of Harrenhal, starting with a blue hand stat panel

284 AC, Autumn, the year following the Battle of Trident.

With Robert Baratheon now reigning as king, the Targaryen dynasty has been overthrown by the grand alliance of the "wolves, fish, deer, and eagles."

As the hardest-hit area of ​​the royalist uprising, Donghejian was naturally the most severely persecuted.

Royalist princes, represented by Hein, Darryl, and Mouton, went to war with Rhaegar, while the Frey family remained neutral.

Horst Tully's performance at the Battle of the Trident was less than ideal, and the fact that he had half the troops in the Riverlands prevented him from securing a place in the Council of Kings.

The current structure of the King's Landing Council consists of three senior members and two newcomers.

The three elders are Grand Maester Paisell, who previously served the Mad King; Varys, the Secretary of State for Intelligence; and Barristan, the White Knight. The two newcomers are Jon Arryn, the Prime Minister and Secretary of State for Justice and the Chancellor of the Exchequer; and Stannis, the Secretary of the Navy.

On the north bank of Shenyan Lake, Herenberg, the drill ground.

Two boys, who looked to be about ten or eleven years old, were sparring with swords and shields, and their coats were embroidered with their family crests.

One is a bat, and the other is a hedgehog.

Boys from lord families were well-nourished and often taller than their peers, a typical example being "Demon Child" Joffrey.

The boy with bats embroidered on his clothes was handsome, with long black hair and deep blue, almost purple eyes.

Arthur Hean gripped the wooden sword, flicking, stabbing, and thrusting.

He determined the enemy's location.

Speed, power, and accuracy!

Arthur skillfully charged forward, swirling and slashing, his wooden sword striking Veri Ward.

Veri staggered and fell to the ground, still wrapped in those leather pads and armor.

"I lost again, Arthur." Veri laughed and then threw down the wooden sword in his hand.

Arthur walked over and helped up his henchman, who was also his training partner.

The name Arthur Hoan was given to him by his great-uncle, Ser Oswell Hoan, as a tribute to Ser Arthur Dayne, the most outstanding knight of the time.

Oswell, a member of the Kingsguard, along with Arthur the Sword of the Morning, Geralt the Bull, Jon Snow, Misty Mouton, and Lorimus, was also a member of Prince Rhaegar's inner circle of friends.

Oswell, the Sword of the Dawn, and the White Bull went out together to protect Lyanna. If Rhaegar became king, then House River would have an unlimited future.

Unfortunately, all three died in the Battle of the Tower of Joy at the end of last year, and also missed the Battle of the Trident River; otherwise, the outcome of the war would have been uncertain.

Also killed in the Tower of Joy were Eddard Stark's five henchmen and his sister Lyanna Stark.

Veri Ward is the third well-known character in the original work alongside Arthur. The Ward family is a propertied knightly family that is loyal to the House of River.

From the time they learned to walk, they practiced martial arts together every morning, just like Robb Stark and Jon Snow in the original story.

For boys from noble families, unless they are crippled or good-for-nothing fools, knight training is their daily routine.

The two sat on a bench and began watching other people's sword and shield duels.

Although Arthur Hoan, born in 275, appears to be a boy, his inner soul is far more mature.

He was just an ordinary office worker on the blue planet, but unexpectedly, he was transported directly to Westeros by a large truck and placed in the body of a boy who had been critically ill with a fever the previous year.

The good news is that he is the heir to a prominent family; the bad news is that the family is the lord of Harrenhal.

Harrenhal has two main characteristics. First, it is wealthy; the castle's owners are usually the richest people in Westeros.

Harrenhal is the largest fortress in the Seven Kingdoms, a castle worthy of the king, and the lord also possesses a large expanse of fertile land surrounding it.

Even though Harrenhal was infamous, it was coveted by many lords and propertied knights.

Just as the cruel Maegor ordered after wiping out House Harlowe in 44 AC, his strongest knights would have Harrenhal's castle but not all the land.

Twenty-three knights fought a bloody battle in the streets of Earl Harlowe's town to win this prize.

Sir Walton Tails eventually won against Harrenhal, but a serious injury led to his early death, and Harrenhal was passed on to his eldest son, Jordan Tails.

Secondly, there is an ominous curse. This dilapidated yet magnificent ancient castle seems to be cursed, devouring every family that tries to possess it for a long time.

The House of Hearn, the seventh lordly family to rule Harrenhal, is now also in a state of decline and ruin.

The once prosperous River House family now consists only of the grandfather, Earl Walter, the grandmother, Lady Sheila River, and the heir, Arthur River.

There was also a collateral aunt, Vigna Holm, who was the wife of Sir Danwell Frey, the eighth son of the elder Frey.

They have no children yet, but she has suffered multiple miscarriages and stillbirths.

Arthur's grandfather, Earl Walter, was sickly and frail due to Rhaegar's defeat and the decline of his family. Walter's sister, Minnie Haan, the wife of Duke Horst, had already died in childbirth.

Arthur's father was the former heir of the River House and the eldest son of Earl Walter, while his mother was the heir of the Bartway House. They had only one child, Arthur.

However, both of them are no longer alive; they died one winter from a cold.

Needless to say, not only those two, but also Arthur's two uncles and aunt all disappeared inexplicably.

One of Arthur's uncles died at the Battle of the Trident, another uncle died from a fall from his horse during a tournament, and his aunt died of puerperal fever shortly after marrying and leaving Harrenhal.

Arthur had to admit that Harrenhal's debuffs were indeed powerful; so many of He'an's victims either suffered accidents, serious injuries, illnesses, premature deaths, or miscarriages.

If he hadn't been a transmigrator, the He'an family would probably have been wiped out like the other former Lords of Herenberg.

All of this is naturally related to the Hellenburg Tournament of that year.

Shortly after his brother, Oswell Hoan, a member of the Kingsguard, visited him, Earl Walter Hoan proposed the idea of ​​holding a tournament in 280 AC.

The prize money he offered was three times that of the tournament held in Lannisport in 276 AC to celebrate the birth of Prince Viserys.

Many believe that the River family held this tournament to showcase their wealth and glory, while others think that the River family does not have enough capital and must be sponsored behind the scenes; Maester Adal has hinted that the River family is supported by Rhaegar, the heir to the Iron Throne.

This martial arts tournament undoubtedly became the catalyst for a series of major events.

No tournament in the Seven Kingdoms has ever produced as much excitement as the Harrenhal Tournament.

First, the reclusive "Mad King" Iris, who never leaves his home, attended the conference, surprising most people.

Yellowed long fingernails, tangled beard, unwashed rope-like hair... all these features revealed the king's madness to the world and greatly damaged the influence of the royal family.

Secondly, at the opening ceremony, Aerys announced that Jaime Lannister had become a member of the Kingsguard.

Jaime knelt on the grass before the king's tent and swore an oath of allegiance, witnessed by half the lords of the kingdom.

Sir Oswell Heane helped him to his feet, and Sir Jero Hightower tied his white robe around his shoulders, as the audience cheered heartfeltly.

Aerys and Tywin's relationship was already very bad, and this appointment of Casterly Rock's heir as the White Knight was one of the greatest humiliations Aerys could inflict on Tywin.

Of course, the most explosive trick was when Rhaegar, the champion of the tournament, placed the "Queen of Love and Beauty" crown on Lyanna's lap.

Rhaegar's actions amounted to a one-time humiliation of the Starks, Baratheons, and Martells, and foreshadowed the subsequent war.

Thinking about this, Arthur had to admit how terrifying it is to be blinded by love.

The butterfly flapped its wings, not only overturning the dragon on the Iron Throne, but also leaving the River House half-dead.

Da da da!

The footsteps of the He'an family guards, dressed in golden robes, sounded; they were the lord's personal guards.

"Young Master Arthur, the Earl requests your presence in his study. His guest will arrive shortly," said Mecca, the captain of the Harrenhal guard, who was dressed in black armor with a gold cloak over it.

"Alright!" Arthur took off his padded armor and put down his wooden sword.

This time, the guests were no ordinary guests; they were from Dorne.
