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

The Hejian region is a battleground on all sides, somewhat similar to Xuzhou in another world, or the Central Plains.

Arryn to the east, the Starks to the north, the Baratheons to the south, and the Lannisters to the west—the Greyjoy had all coveted the Riverlands.

Tywin Lannister, in particular, was the most ambitious in his quest for dominance.

Then Harrenhal, as the foremost stronghold in the Riverlands, naturally enjoyed the benefits.

During times of civil war, this place becomes awash in blood.

Under the sunlight, Shenyan Lake looks like a vast expanse of blue that has been struck by lightning.

Nothing much to do today, so I'm going boating.

Sir Arthur Hoan and Sir Lucas Dayne, among others, sailed on the Great Lake.

Not far away, you can also see black swans swimming freely on the blue lake, a very peaceful scene.

Arthur swam in God's Eye Lake when he was a child, which can be said to be one of the most scenic spots on the continent.

Arthur wants to build a new Harrenhal, which requires naval, land, and air forces.

Arthur gazed at the blue lake. "The Harrenhal region has witnessed numerous large-scale battles. Its history is also a history of war."

Since its construction, Harrenhal has been a strategically vital location.

Aegon the Conqueror won the Battle of the Reeds at Godeye Lake, and Harren's two sons immediately retaliated, setting sail in longships.

However, when the young Halls crossed the Lake of Godeye in their longship, they suffered a severe blow from the Targaryen family, with heavy casualties.

The two young Halls were also killed by the dragon Belerien as they were about to cross the lake to return; this was the Battle of Willow.

During the brutal Meg period, Meg visited Harrenburg and massacred the inhabitants.

During the Dance of the Dragons, Harrenhal was also the eye of the storm of war.

Damon's arrival at Harrenhal led to Harrenhal's fall, significantly improving the Black Party's situation in the Riverlands.

The Black Party swiftly won the battles of Firemill and Stonewall.

The battle on the lakeside took place on the west bank of Shenyan Lake, while the battle on the stone ridge occurred on the south bank of Shenyan Lake.

"The most famous battles were the two decisive battles at the Eye of the Dragon, both of which were clashes between uncle and nephew. The first was the Battle Under the Eye of the Dragon, and the second was the Dance at the Eye of the Dragon. A battle of dragons, a civil war among dragons," Sir Lucas said with mixed feelings.

The battle under the divine eye took place not far south of the divine eye lake; it was a massacre.

The cruel Meg, riding the "Black Death," pounced on Silver from above, biting its neck with sharp teeth and tearing off one of its wings with its claws.

Bellerion is four times the size of Silver, and even more ruthless and cunning.

The nephew was no match for his uncle.

The young female dragon screamed in agony as she plummeted into the air, and Prince Aegon, the "uncrowned king," also fell to his death.

Maegor became the first Targaryen to commit patricide.

The Dancing God's Eye Lake takes place on God's Eye Lake, where the two sides are relatively evenly matched.

The one-eyed mistress, Ari, witnessed it all.

Damon's dragons are about half the size but fierce and agile, while Vaghar's dragons are large but relatively clumsy.

Damon's combat experience also surpasses that of his one-eyed nephew.

As the two giant dragons took to the sky, it was already late and the sun was about to set.

The dragon's screams and roars could be heard for miles around.

At the last moment, Damon drew the Dark Sisters and plunged the sword into his nephew's blind eye, piercing the back of his neck. Then, the two dragons fell into the Lake of the Eye.

Later, these dragon bones were retrieved and sent to King's Landing; they were the property of the Dragon King's family.

"It is not we who go to war, but war that comes to us." Arthur was convinced that this was Harrenhal's philosophy of life.

Arthur also saw a small, wooded island in the middle of the lake, which was called Thousand Faces Island.

This island is one of the very few places in the southern region of Sunset Continent where weirwood still grows.

In other places, most of the weirwood trees were cut down and burned.

At the end of the Dawn Era, the First Men and the Children of the Forest waged a war that lasted for hundreds of years. Finally, wise men from both sides signed an oath of alliance on Thousand Faces Isle, ending the war.

The sacred organization, the Green Men, was officially established to guard this southern island of Yuliangmu.

Out of respect for the covenant and fear of ancient legends, few people are willing to visit this place.

"That's Thousand Faces Isle," Arthur said to Sir Lucas.

"That's the island where the Green Men live." Sir Lucas looked at the island in the distance.

"It's where the Green Men are, but very few people go up there. People say there's something strange about it," Veri said.

"It's strange because the weirwood is still there, and the Green Men will uphold their covenant, but no one has ever seen what the Green Men look like," Lucas Root said.

There must have been people who went up there, and the "green man" really is still there.

But they seem to rarely get involved in human disputes; even the "black-hearted" Herren didn't dare to provoke them.

Ed's best friend Holland Reed went up there.

Arthur estimated that, in addition to the noble knight Adam, the lord of the swamp, Holland Reed, the witch queen Ari River, the forest child "Leaf" who is now hiding in the borderlands had also been there.

On the lake, Arthur's boat was larger than the longboats of the Iron Islands, about ten meters long.

The sails were adorned with the black bat emblem of the He'an family, and the oarsmen swung their arms vigorously, while the oarsmen beat drums to cheer them on.

This scene looks a bit like a dragon boat race.

With a single drumbeat, ten thousand people are of one mind.

Yes, the He'an family also has its own fleet, the Shenyan Lake Fleet.

It's a relatively small-scale operation, mainly using longboats to control the surface of Shenyan Lake.

The estuary of Crab Bay is winding and narrows, resulting in relatively little trade.

The He'an family also stopped building large ports at the sea, and their fleet consisted of long ships and small boats.

Although the Shenyan Lake Fleet is a combat fleet, it spends most of its time making money by transporting tourists.

The lake is relatively safe; there are few river pirates. Most of the time, the water is calm, so making money is the top priority.

There are many farms and fishing villages along the lake, most of which are thatched houses and a few are stone houses. These people are all the people of the He'an family.

In addition, the towns of Helen and Helenburg on the north bank of the Lake of the Eye, the town of the Eye on the south bank, and the Third New Whitewall City on the east bank, all rely heavily on waterways for communication.

Not only House River, but other lords of Westeros, as long as they are located by the sea or a river, generally have their own fleets.

The only difference is that the fleet sizes vary.

Let's not even talk about the two most overpowered ship-burners: Stark and Martell.

Bear Island and Tass Island also have their own fleets, but these fleets are like toys in front of the behemoth that is Redwin's fleet, and many of them are just longships to make up the numbers.

"The River An family's fleet is relatively small, mostly consisting of longships," Arthur explained to Sir Lucas.

Longships were primarily used by the Ironborn, but other lords also possessed them.

After all, not every river has such a vast flow as the Loina River.

"I can see that; they're all longboats, but that's enough for rivers and lakes," Sir Lucas said.

The Dane family has its own port, merchant ships, and warship fleet, making them significantly stronger than the He'an family.

The longboat is characterized by its length, narrowness, and lightness. Its wooden hull has an extremely shallow draft and is designed specifically to optimize speed.

Longboats can travel twice as fast as ordinary commercial flat-bottomed boats.

The shallow draft of the vessel allows it to navigate in water up to one meter deep, and also ensures that it can land on any shallow beach.

Its lightweight nature allows it to be lifted and moved on land like a kayak.

Longboats do not have a bow and stern; their symmetrical design allows them to quickly change direction without needing a bow.

“Viri,” Arthur said. “I’m asking you, what is the ranking of the Westeros fleet?”

Veri laughed heartily, "Arthur, you can't stump me. The three major fleets are the Royal Fleet, the Iron Fleet, and the Redwyn Fleet. The Iron Fleet's warships are smaller than those of the Greenlands, but they are three times the size of a standard iron-class longship. In addition to these three major fleets, there are also the Casterly Rock Fleet, the Oldtown Fleet, and the Seagull Town Fleet. It is said that there are also some warships in White Harbor."

Apart from the White Harbor fleet being somewhat lacking, these three large and three small fleets constitute the six major fleets of Westeros.

However, Tywin's smile quickly faded, as Croweye would deliver a fatal blow.

The river valleys, river bends, and valleys are so comprehensive, with both port cities and large fleets.

Arthur laughed too. "Warships move with the port; where we are, we only have some longships."

There are no conditions for building a fleet of ships for the time being, since there is no money and no major port. Fleets have always been money-guzzling beasts.

Robert spent a lot of money rebuilding the Royal Navy.

Arthur needs to prepare for the Greyjoy rebellion, and the Longship will suffice.

In the past, the Ironborn had swept across the riverine lands by land and sea, but now Arthur was thinking of going against the Ironborn in the opposite direction.

Arthur amassed money incredibly quickly.

Honors, however, require the opportunity of blood and fire; one should become famous as early as possible.

For Arthur, having earned merit in battle, there are now readily available backup candidates.

Greyjoy rebelled; I can't pass up the kills and the honor.

Iron Seed, the mortal enemy of the Riverlands.

Baron is a madman that everyone hates, but he harbors dreams of the ancient road.
