Oldtown
Oldtown is the second largest city of Westeros and among its oldest, a great southern port ruled by House Hightower and home to the Citadel, where the maesters of A Song of Ice and Fire earn their chains.
Far to the southwest of the Seven Kingdoms, near the borders of Dorne, Oldtown is the second largest city in Westeros and by common account the oldest. In A Game of Thrones, it matters most for what it produces: every maester in the realm, for Oldtown is home to the Citadel, where the order of scholars trains its novices and forges the chains they wear. House Hightower rules the city, and its ancient beacon tower watches over one of the busiest harbors in the known world. A rich port of stone streets and old septs, Oldtown grows up long before the coming of the dragons, and its wealth and learning make it the quiet counterweight to King's Landing, the younger capital that displaced it.
