riverrun is so funny in context of every other important castle in the series. Like, Winterfell and Harrenhal are the size of a city and have a lot of detail, weird places, the Eyrie is on the top of the mountain, it has an elevator and sky cells, Storm's End even has a legend about how it was built, Casterly Rock is inside a mountain
and then there's riverrun, which is just a regular castle. Not even that big. It has uh... a water wheel? a gate that you can swim through? hot redheads live there, sometimes
