If Bran becomes KitN at the end of the series, do you think his kingdom will include the Riverlands too, because the Riverlords acclaimed Robb king? If not, who will rule the Riverlands?
Whoever rules the North at the end of the series, I doubt their kingdom will include the Riverlands. The Riverlords’ support was limited and temporary and has almost entirely gone except for a few holdouts. Not to mention that the extremely different culture and history and geography of the Riverlands would not stand up well with the North in a fractured Westeros. Also, if the somewhat far-out theory that there will be a literal fractured Westeros is true – that another Hammer of the Waters will hit the Neck again and separate the North from the rest of Westeros for good this time – then there really won’t be a reason for the kingdom of the North to include the Riverlands.
Who is to rule? Edmure Tully, very probably.
