House Tully was restored to Riverrun by Aegon VI Targaryen through Edmure Tully, after he and his wife, Roslin Frey, were freed from Lannister captivity. Edmure, starved and near-broken though he was, rallied what forces he could and rode north with his king to fight alongside the lords of Westeros in the War for the Dawn. After the dead were offered their final rest, the river lords marched back to their burned holdfasts, salted fields, and villages with naught a soul left lingering in them. A week long period of mourning was declared to give them time to bury their innumerable dead and to grieve those they'd lost. All in all, they're still counting the fallen, but tallies taken from the towns and largest villages put the total to near twenty thousand. Of them, over a hundred and fifty were noblemen, of great and small houses alike. Already overwhelmed by death and lacking many of its former farmers, the Riverlands wasn't prepared for the Four Years' Winter that followed. It was only by the grace of the Reach that their population wasn't halved by the famine.

There's no one date to mark when reconstruction began, neither one for when it ended; the process was started even before the War of the Five Kings had finished, and it continues even into Manfryd's reign. But none would argue that the bulk of the trouble lay during Edmure's time as lord. He was forced to borrow great sums of money from the Iron Throne and other, richer houses, including his own bannermen, to finance that great venture. In typical Edmure fashion, he began by pouring money into those towns whose smallfolk were the hardest hit. A direct investment to have fields re-sown, homes built anew, and a new fleet of skiffs, grain barges and trade ships constructed to revitalize the regional economy. The noblemen received their own portions to do with as they wish.

Broken men, robber knights and other vultures still plagued the Riverlands. Its fetid carcass was poorly protected thanks to the War of the Five Kings, and in many rural places, outlaws outnumbered the just men. Edmure nominated his friend Ser Marq Piper to lead the campaign, and gave Grover Tully, his son, to be Marq's squire. Little Grover was polishing armor and carrying wine during the battle of Bitter Bridge, running at his ser's heels when Piper chased down Rickon the Pauper Prince and his Mirthful Band, and Grover stood at Piper's side as Black Walder met the King's Justice.

After Piper’s passing in 318 AC his work would continue through Grover, now a man grown and knighted in the sept at Riverrun. He had a squire of his own, as well, though his choice has angered many river lords and disappointed his father: his squire was his younger sister, Lanna, who’d taken to fighting with quarterstaves when she was meant to be dancing and sewing. Together Grover and Lanna would bring terror to every outlaw Riverlands, with sword and noose alike, twisting what had once been called a noble quest into butcher’s work. For fifteen years they hunted, earning a name for themselves as the Hunters Two.

Edmure's other daughters went down more traditional paths. They would marry into houses near and far, securing new alliances and strengthening bonds with old vassals. Jeyne was the youngest of them at only six and ten when she was married to Lyman Goodbrook, lord of his own house at nearly the same age. The wedding was held at Goodbrook Keep and many of the great lords of the Riverlands attended. What followed was several days worth of celebratory feasting, drinking and dancing. It would've been a thing to be remembered fondly for years to come if not for the horror that followed.

Jeyne's elder brother, Belgrave Tully, had been taken by madness. He lay in wait until the wedding guests had dispersed and night had fallen, and then he set about slaughtering every living thing in the keep. He took an ax to his sister and husband as they lay in their bed, cut down the servants and guards, and fled the household when nothing but corpses remained there. Grover and Lanna would hunt their rabid brother down themselves and put him to the sword, though it did little good; the damage had already been done. Edmure would retreat into isolation in his solar, stricken by grief, and he would stay there until he passed in his bedchamber a year later.

In 345 AC, just a few days after her lord husband's death, Roslin Tully would read his will before her household and a few, choice lords. Edmure had chosen to pass over Grover in the line of succession and named his younger brother, Manfryd, Lord Paramount of the Trident and Lord of Riverrun. Grover was all howls and fury for a fortnight. He threatened to call the will a mummer's farce, raise up his friends' banners in rebellion, and take his birthright by force if Manfryd didn't give it up. For all his faults, Grover was a well-liked man with many a friend. If he had followed through on his promises he may have well succeeded. For reasons only he could know, Grover never pressed his claim, and he decided to leave the Riverlands with his pregnant smallfolk lover, Willow, called 'the Beauty'.

Manfryd's first act as lord was to stabilize the Trident. He gave the Goodbrook holdfast to Jorah Tully, his nephew by Grover, to kill any quarrels he may have had with his father's treatment. Then Manfryd offered an early betrothal to Lord Blackwood, between Manfryd's daughter, Helena, and his own heir, Tommen. There were other lords and landed knights who saw their debts waved or gifts in their hands to sway their hearts away from their foolish whims.

During the early years of his reign, Manfryd made a point to increase House Tully's personal wealth. He invested coin raised by tax and tariff, borrowed from the Iron Bank in anything he could get his fingers in: foreign sellsword companies, trade ships in Maidenpool, vineyards and Sourleaf fields. Riverrun's military strength was a concern of his, too. His bannermen were notoriously fickle, bristling at even the thought of loyalty- they could not always be trusted to protect Tully interests. Knights from across the Seven Kingdoms who had no land or lord were offered plate and deeds in exchange for service. As many men-at-arms as could be afforded were put on retainer, to train and lead the levies if war were to ever find its way to the rivermen again. Manfryd was always prudent with his investments, and patient; many of them wouldn't bear fruit ten years on, yet when they did they were bountiful indeed.

But the Tully's best defense would always be its marriage pacts. Manfryd made himself a friend of Barristan Baratheon and joined their houses through his daughter, Brienne, and Manfryd's eldest, Robb. Edmyn Tully, a hauntingly handsome lad at just nineteen, was promised to a girl from House Payne before he was forced to take the black.

It was in 353 that King Aelyx I Targaryen called his banners to conquer the Stepstones, as many a king had done before him. Manfryd sent what men he could, with Robb to lead them, though he had urged against it. It was on the Stepstones that Robb reunited with his aunt and uncle, Lanna and Grover, who had already joined the van alongside Lord Desmond Mallister and Lord Mooton. It was a terrible, brutal thing, and that two year campaign claimed many lives- high and lowborn alike. Grover was among their number. Singers in every inn across the Riverlands still tell of his great courage, of how he slayed a dozen knights of New Valyria before they sent a dragon to burn him to ash. After their victory, Manfryd Tully decided to give The Skulls to the Mallisters, to honor their Lord Desmond's sacrifice and make up for the death of Grover Tully, husband to Ellinor Mallister. The Mootons writhed at this decision, having vied for the island themselves after the death of their own liege lord. Manfryd had hoped his relationship with Jocelyn would help ease the tension that arose afterward.

The Shivers had other plans when came to Riverrun in 359 AC. They would not leave until they had claimed the Lady of Riverrun, Jocelyn Tully, and her newborn infant, who was still yet unnamed. Hoster Tully took sick as well but by the grace of gods old and new, he survived, though his hands still shake to this day.

King Haegon was taken from this world by the Shivers as well, and by the time the plague had swept out of Westeros, Aerys III Targaryen sat on the Iron Throne. Unlike his last namesake, Aerys proved a good man and a good ruler, and Manfryd was quick to support him. The two traveled the Trident together while the king was there to help heal the realm's wounds. Manfryd made for a good enough host that he managed to secure a betrothal between his recovering son, called "Little" Hoster after his case of the Shivers, and Aerys's daughter, Daena. Aerys would introduce Manfryd to his Hand, Florian Tyrell, and the two hit it off immediately. The two forged another marriage pact through Myranda Tully and Alesander Tyrell. Together with their mutual friend Barristan the Houses of Baratheon, Tully, and Tyrell would back Aerys III, creating a power bloc to drag the realm back into stability, kicking and screaming.
