Three Towers
On this tab
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.
Elinor Costayne's Retreat
After King Maegor I Targaryen's death, one of his Black Brides who had outlived his reign, Queen Elinor Costayne, left King's Landing dressed as a penitent.
Before settling at Three Towers with her youngest son, she went to see the two eldest sons from her first marriage, to Ser Theo Bolling, who were wards at the Eyrie and at Highgarden.

Passage of the Cinnamon Wind
The Cinnamon Wind sailed past Three Towers on its way to Oldtown, a reminder that the castle remained a fixed landmark along that stretch of coast.
