<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The '''Blackwater Rush''' is a major river of southern [[Westeros]] that empties into [[Blackwater Bay]] at [[King's Landing]], the capital of the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. Its mouth was the site of [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Conqueror's]] first landing, and centuries later of the great naval battle that saved King's Landing during the War of the Five Kings.<br />
<br />
== Geography ==<br />
The Blackwater Rush rises in the interior and flows east through the [[Crownlands]], passing south of King's Landing before opening into Blackwater Bay and the [[Narrow Sea]]. Its banks at the river's mouth are where Aegon raised the wooden fort that grew into the capital, and the [[Red Keep]] looks down upon its waters.<br />
<br />
== Battle of the Blackwater ==<br />
:''Main article: [[Battle of the Blackwater]]''<br />
During the War of the Five Kings, [[Stannis Baratheon]] sailed up the Blackwater Rush to assault King's Landing. [[Tyrion Lannister]] defended the city by unleashing a great burst of [[wildfire]] upon Stannis's fleet, immolating his ships in the river. The arrival of [[Tywin Lannister]] and [[House Tyrell]] then routed Stannis's army on the southern shore.<br />
<br />
== Significance ==<br />
The river is central to the defense of the capital. Whoever controls the Blackwater Rush controls access to King's Landing by water, making it a perennial strategic prize.<br />
