During the 2nd war with Nilfgaard, Lyria and Rivia were both conquered and Queen Meve led a backwoods partisan resistance. When escaping Angren after disrupting Nilfgaardian supply lines, she and her men were caught between a fort on one end of the Yaruga and pursuing Nilfgaarding soldiers on the other. Her defeat seemed inevitable so she and her men began fight to the last man but a certain Witcher and his band of friends on their quest to find a girl named Ciri needed a way out as well so they caused panic among the Nilfgaardian troops and used their skills to retake the bridge. When the Lyrians and Geralt’s band emerged victorious, Meve knighted the Witcher and dubbed him “Geralt of Rivia”. And gave the bridge and Rivian diamonds as a crest.
