The Riverlands Uprising

The twenty-sixth rebellion and twenty-ninth major military conflict, The Riverlands Uprising was a war that followed the United Realm War. The Riverlands Uprising was a series of battles fought all across the Realm, in which the rebel Riverlands Empire rose up against the incumbent King Tywin II Lannister in a coordinated rebellion and Realm-wide war fought between the rebels of the Vale, Riverlands, Crownlands, Stormlands and Iron Islands against The Westerlands, Dorne,The North and The Reach.
== Prelude ==
After the demise of the Quadrumvirate of House Pemford at the hands of House Velaryon and House Targaryen, the Riverlands would remain with a large power gap, with the incumbent Lord Paramount Brynden Blackwood struggling to sustain his large and overstretched domain of the Riverlands without the help of their close allies, meanwhile, two ambitious lords of the Riverlands would prepare and scheme their way towards total conquest of the Riverlands from the inside.
Upon the departure of King Davos I Dayne, or Ciaranac from King's Landing, and the Crown of The Seven Kingdoms being handed over to House Lannister under King Tywin I Lannister, or SSWEEEEjr the realm would live in temporary peace and prosperity, this until the rise of House Bracken and House Vance in the Riverlands, whom would follow on to bring destruction and chaos all across the Realm...
== The Competitors ==
Upon the arrival of the new Houses Vance, Ryger, and Bracken, the Riverlands would swiftly begin to fall into instability, with House Vance declaring war on the incumbent Lord Paramount Brynden Blackwood, with House Bracken instead backing House Blackwood in their campaign, at least for the time being..
Seeing a new incoming threat from the Riverlands, the House of Lannister, currently ruling over the Westerlands and King's Landing would quickly move in the aid of their allies House Blackwood, quickly gathering an army on the border with the Riverlands to prepare and meet with the Blackwood forces on the way, with House Vance and Ryger being all alone trapped between the two great Houses.
== The Stab in the Back ==
During the small era and illusion of peace given out by House Bracken in the Riverlands, Lord Kraznys Mo Bracken, or DoMeat would take time to subjugate local remnants of House Pemford and Partisans into his own forces, gathering a confident 3 armies at the disposal of Lord Blackwood, or so it seemed.
Just as the Blackwood stack was getting ready to move towards meeting with the Lannister forces in the Westerlands, a chilling sight appears in Riverrun, a combined contingent of House Bracken and House Greyjoy arrives at the gates of Riverrun, launching quick and devastating surprise cavalry assaults over the outer-wall peasant population of Riverrun, slaying men, women and children alike and laying siege over the fortress.
With the Blackwood forces rallied and amassed, the staggered Lord Blackwood would order charge after charge of his men into the united Bracken and Greyjoy contingent, showing ignorance to the castle defenses and acting out of anger, with the siege of Riverrun ending in a catastrophic defeat for the Blackwood forces, with Lord Brynden Blackwood, or JamesDBlackwood perishing in battle.
== The Empire Strikes Back ==
As a response to the Lannister amassing forces outside of the Riverlands, the now united force of the Riverlands Accords, amassing armies of House Bracken, House Greyjoy, House Vance, House Ryger, and House Grafton would quickly march to intercept the Lannister armies marching into the Riverlands, engaging into an open field battle at Wayfarer's Rest.
Just as the Lannister forces would cross the River Trident, they would be struck by the quick Riverlands contingent, engaging in fierce combat in the river, with the Riverlands having an obvious number advantage, and with Lord Kraznys Mo Bracken's pressuring strategy learned from Grandmaster of War AvisOni, the battle of Wayfarer's Rest would end in a decisive victory for the Riverlands, with an overall 6 Westerlands armies being slain and put afloat in the bloody waters of the Trident.
== The Mountain's Rage ==
In a nearly completely separate conflict taking place in the Vale, the reformed House Redfort and its allies House Grafton would wage war against the northern ruling House Hersy, House Arryn and temporarily House Royce, with multiple coalitions having established to tear down House Redfort from its start, with Redfort's mere maneuvering keeping it alive, with the decisive Battle of Mountain and Vale , fought between House Arryn, House Hersy against House Redfort and House Grafton, with the battle resulting in a fierce victory for the Vale Republic, led by House Grafton, resulting in the temporary diminish of the Hersy and Arryn morale. Seeing their allies in turmoil, the Lannisters of Casterly Rock and House Lefford made a push for Gulltown to enter the vale only being stopped abruptly by House Grafton. After a valiant clash, the Lions of Casterly Rock fell to the Silent Ravagers of Grafton foiling their invasion.
One year later, with large schism and defections ongoing within the Redfort army, the Northern Coalition would strike, engaging the unprepared forces of House Redfort south in open field as Lord Grafton moved his forces down south to regroup with the Riverlands forces, however with the Northern Coalition closing in from the North with a fast pace the armies clashed with eachother on the border of the Riverlands and the Vale, while the Vale Republic their cavalry was clashing against the Northern pikeman wall, a loud horn could be heard coming from a hill. Ascending upon that hill the mixed banner from Hersy and Arryn came flying high up in the sky. Following this signal the cavalry of both houses appeared on the horizon led by Lord Hersy and Lord Arryn they let their horses charge down the hill, penetrating the side of the gathered forces of the Vale Republic. Within this clash, Lord Arcibald Hersy or Dal_exe and Lord Orton Redfort or RealmValor both met within the heat of the battle. A fierce duel occured in the midst of the battle in which Lord Arcibald Hersy slashed through Lord Orton Redfort his armor, killing him by doing so. This caused the Vale Republic armies to scatter throughout the Realm. With this victory for the Northern Coalition, Hersy and Arryn their morale was restored and they made the push for King's Landing.
However, after the death of House Redfort, leaving only Grafton, the Hersy and Arryn militant force would be unable to occupy the southern half of the Vale, due to low morale and economic crisis in both houses, added onto by corruption in the ranks, the Houses of Arryn and Hersy would soon fade away, giving in for a greater House Corbray to rise up in the north of the Vale.
== Southern Stifle ==
Months after the defeats in the Riverlands and the retreat from King's Landing, in favor of House Greyjoy, House Lannister would redirect their armies down south at the call of House Targaryen and House Dayne. House Lannister would gain the upper hand, collaborating with it's Dornish allies to wage a campaign in the Stormlands against the combined force of House Bracken, House Baratheon, House Gardener and the remnants of House Dondarrion, which have been previously defeated by a joint Dornish host during the Siege of Blackhaven. The Battle for the Stormlands at Hasty would mark the end of the Conquest of the Stormlands and be a massacre in the open field against the inferior numbers of House Bracken and House Baratheon, being slain to the last man, as well Lord Robert Baratheon being fatally hit in the battle later dying from this blow given by. The southern stifle would be the end of the Riverlands influence within the Stormlands, a new Lord Paramount being established shortly after, thus being House Yronwood, with the support of it's Dornish allies, House Dayne and House Targaryen, as well of the other Stormlands houses, House Seaworth and House Connington. House Targaryen, alongside House Dayne and Lys would shortly return south to put an end to the uprising of House Martell in Sunspear. By the time the vanguard of the Daynish Cavalry arrived at Sunspear, House Martell surrendered and gave Sunspear back to Lord Aegon Targaryen.
Another attempt by the Crown to destabilize Dorne, then House Greyjoy, would be the uprising of House Qorgyle at Sandstone, led by the soldiers that fled south upon the death of Lord Robert Baratheon, which would rapidly be over, Prince Davos Dayne valiantly leading his forces, despite being outnumbered by the rebels.
== Torrhen's Vengeance ==
After the promising victories down south, the now ambitious lords of the North, under House Manderly, the united stack of 19 Northern armies would rain down upon King's Landing, trying to take King's Landing with a full charge, as the unprepared forces of the North, entered the city they were met with brutal force from the Southern forces led by House Bracken, House Greyjoy and House Tallhart mercenaries, seeing how the Northerners didn't prepare for Southern sieges, their soldiers were massacred by the defenders. When the Northern forces fell the ruthless Tallhart mercenaries started tearing apart and flaying every Northerner they met who was still alive after the siege, with the Tallhart lords overseeing these cruel actions they remembered the Torrhen's Square murders, thus the vengeance of Torrhen's Square was born, as the catastrophe of this failed siege of King's Landing, the Northerns would be left with no armies within the South and left the defenders with time to breath and prepare for their next challenge.(Torrhen's Vengeance, KL )
== Hunt for the Kraken ==
In the same week House Martell faced it's bent, House Lannister's galleys met House Greyjoy's Iron Fleet on sea leading to an enraging battle between both fleets, while the battle was equal for both Houses,within the heat of the battle Ser Martyn Lannister, or CloudedMoons, fought through the ranks of Greyjoy reavers and reached their commander, King Euron I Greyjoy, or Rhaxos, upon which Ser Martyn engaged into a fierce duel with Euron Greyjoy, after intense fighting Ser Martyn pierced through King Euron his armor knocking him out of combat. Upon seeing their commander fall the Greyjoy soldier pulled him towards a rowboat and left the battle thus leaving Lannister victorious, with a close 3-2. The war was a shock to the Realm showing the weakness of Lannister having only a close win to an inferior Iron Fleet at Sea, this only declined Greyjoy their grip over the Realm. However many Lords and Ladies began to doubt House Greyjoy's divinity when they heard the news of the loss of Pyke and the destruction of the Iron Fleet.
Shortly after the Iron Fleet was sunk, the joint Targaryen-Westerlander forces would grab another victory at the Battle for Hayford against the brave knights of House Darklyn, which have managed to hold their ground, even if they were outnumbered by their enemies. During this battle the skill was shown of the Darklyn soldiers fighting valiantly against a larger host, putting up an incredible fight however due to the tactics and the overwhelming number of men brought by Lord Aegon V Targaryen, or MichaelFawkes and Lord Regent Alyn Marbrand, or Altivius they were swiftly defeated. The Targaryen-Westerlander joint force knew how to defeat their outnumbered yet strong enemy and eventually won 3-0. This could easily mark the start of the Targaryen Reconquest of the Crownlands.
