In which the efforts of the Ironborn are at last overthrown and the Houses of the Riverlands begin their recovery in the wake of the war. Stonebridge and Terrick's Roost fall under new governance, while the newly-established Ashwoods are forced to relinquish all ties to their former familial allies, the Charltons, only a short while after an attempted assault by the Frey vassals upon the Naylands. The Flints are driven back North by a vicious plague, yet the concern for the time being remains the murder of two nobles, close to the borders of Heronhurst…
