White Sword Tower is one of the towers of the Red Keep in King's Landing. It contains the chambers of the Kingsguard.
White Sword Tower is a slender four-storied structure built into an angle of the castle wall overlooking Blackwater Bay. It has winding steps.
The first floor contains the common room for the Kingsguard, the Round Room, a circular white room. White wool hangings decorate its whitewashed stone walls, and a white shield and two crossed longswords are mounted over the hearth. The room contains a large weirwood table carved in the shape of a shield supported by three white stallions, and three knights sit on each side. The chair of the Lord Commander, old black oak with blanched cowhide cushions, sits at the top of the shield. The common room also contains the White Book.
The undercroft holds arms and armor, while the second and third floors hold the small sparse sleeping cells for six brothers of the Kingsguard. The topmost floor contains the apartments of the Lord Commander. His rooms are sparse as well, but spacious, and they stand above the outer walls. His wall hangings and bed draperies are white.
