The Twins.

Sometimes known as The Crossing, is the name given to the castle complex held by House Frey, located within the Riverlands. It consists of two near-identical towers and a fortified bridge over the Green Fork of the River Trident.

My family has long watched over The Twins. My elderly father had many sons, bastards and daughters. I only said daughters last because I know that we women are thought of to have lower rank than even the bastards.

My father, Lord Walder Frey is proud, prickly and unreliable. A trait he passed on to many of my older brothers and sisters. My younger brothers Waldron and Olyver are the most bearable. But sometimes even they can be needed to be kept at arm's length.

The Twins represents the only crossing point over the Green Fork for hundreds of miles in either direction, and is a major barrier to travelers and merchants traveling from the North to the western Riverlands. It lies directly athwart the main route from Winterfell to Riverrun. Moving from one castle to the other whilst avoiding the Twins requires a lengthy detour hundreds of miles to the south or hazardously traversing the bogs and swamps of the north.

I'm Melina Frey, this is my story.
