227 AC
Two years have gone by in that time the Twins have become a bustling town with a population of 2,500 souls on either bank of the Twins. On the western bank docks were built up river and down river from the Twins with homes, warehouses, brothel, tavern, and a market place.
River walls and towers were built connected to the gatehouse along the river and a wall and gatehouse built with round towers around the western bank town connecting to river wall. The curtain wall on the eastern bank was replaced with an actual wall and gatehouse with rounded towers.
If someone could see from on high the Twins would look like a circle cut in half by the river. To stop enemies from sailing into the town they built two large towers on either bank on the wall downstream, the same for upstream two towers. If enemies were to ever to come, they would raise a chain stopping their advance.
The entire settlement was made of different shades of grey bricks, same as The Twins. Walder Frey named the town Agartha.
In the two years Walder Frey had a vineyard built growing tart grapes making wine. Soon it became popular with the nobility of the Riverlands and is believed to become signature wine for the Riverlands.
Ranches for cattle, sheep, and domesticated deer. Sheep for wool, cattle and deer for hides and meat. The hides would be tan there and then sent on to The Twins.
He had plantation built growing woad, madder, kermes making dyes and bleach and another for producing wool, linen making plain or dyed textiles.
All this sold by the Frey merchants at Seagard and down the green fork to saltpans, Maidenpool, and lord Harroways town.
Walder Frey pov:
I am now standing in front of a heart tree seeing my wife to be for the first time. Alora Reed is a bombshell of a woman.
She was beautiful perfect hour glass figure, dark green eyes, long dark brown hair. She was wearing white robe with a green cloak with the house reed's black lizard on it.
She was being escorted by her father to the heart tree, both of us standing in front of the tree we began.
"I am Alora Reed." She said
"I am Walder Frey." I said
Her father stepped forward, "I give away Alora Reed. "He said
"Do you accept him as your husband. "He asked
"I take this man. "She said, we joined hands.
We both kneeled before the heart tree, bowing are heads to the tree.
Usually I don't pray but since there is evidence of gods existing in this world and I will need all the help I can get.
"May I always be able to fight my battles in this life and the next." I said, under my breathe
Rising from are knees I removed her maiden's cloak and laid the bride's cloak around her shoulders, lifting her up bridal style.
Walking away from the heart tree towards Agartha into the Twins eastern keep.

In the great hall was split down the middle, I was sitting middle of the high table.
My wife and her party and family on the left side of hall, while my house to the right, my uncle next to me. There were Reed and Frey banners on the walls, four long tables running the length of the hall.
Standing up from my chair, looking right to left across the hall.
"You are now family and that means we fight as one, survive as one, always help one another." I said
Sitting down the feast began. Servants brought out platters of venison, boar, quail, beef, assorted vegetables, and jugs of river wine.
Alora Reed pov:
My new husband is not just a young boy but also a Frey. When my uncle told me, I would be marrying the new lord Frey all I felt was anger and annoyance at being married off to a Frey.
Staring at him in the corner of my eye, sitting in his dark throne he had short cropped brown hair, brown eyes, narrow face.
As the feast went on, I was nervous about the bedding for Walder is younger than me by two name days.
Time skip:
Walder Frey pov:
The feast had ended most of the attendees were passed out drunk or stumbling around drunk.
I was the only sober person in the great hall, I could tell that Alora was a little buzzed we both made are way to are bedchamber to do the step to become husband and life.
