Three Towers
Tres Torres
Three Towers is the seat of House Costayne, built on a cliff along the southern coast of the Whispering Sound, in the Reach, close to the Redwyne Straits.
Sitting roughly halfway between King's Landing and Oldtown, it has been a stopping point both for kings on progress and for those wanting distance from the court.
