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.

Members of the Kingsguard

Lord Commander of the Kingsguard: Ser Criston Cole Ser Arryk Cargyll (NPC) Ser Rickard Thorne Ser Willis Fell (NPC) Ser Marston Waters (NPC)

The Lord Commander sends out ravens to the leal holdfasts, encouraging those knights who would serve to present themselves in King's Landing.

Ser Rickard Thorne sharpened his sword seated and with a whetstone. He was a well known fighter, but not quite for his honorable technique. He was a knight, it was true, but he fought with a grunge about him. Truth be told, the cleanest thing about him was his dress whites.

Criston Cole circled the square table in the base of the tower. "brother Throne" he nodded. "It was an understanding. Soon the realm would be plunged into the abyss, the seven would prove to be key actors, he was sure.

Thorne nodded at his Commander. He didn’t always agree with Cole, but he had always respected him. Besides, for all the extra curriculars Thorne engaged in, he was never ostracized. Scolded yes, but never ostracized.
