Snow Ghost [Jaime Lannister]

Chapter II. King's Landing

The walled city of King's Landing, capital of Westeros. The royal castle, the Red Keep, built of red sandstone, perches on the cliffs above Blackwater Bay.

The seven-towered Great Sept of Baelor rises on the south edge of the city. In between sprawls the fetid slum called Flea Bottom.

The king's party arrives in King's Landing.

King's Landing is roughly square-shaped, sprawling across several miles and defended by tall walls. It is dotted with manses, arbors, granaries, brick storehouses, timbered inns, merchant stalls, taverns, graveyards and brothels.

There is a fish market. Hundreds of quays can be found in the harbor. Between buildings the roads are broad, lined with trees and branching alleys and streets.

The city covers the north shore of the Blackwater Rush and covers three tall hills, named after Aegon and his two sisters, Visenya and Rhaenys.

Aegon's High Hill, surmounted by the Red Keep, the royal castle located in the south-eastern corner of the city, overlooks the bay directly, whilst Visenya's Hill to the west is crowned by the marble-walled Great Sept of Baelor and its seven crystal towers.

The Hill of Rhaenys in the north is capped by the collapsed ruins of the Dragonpit dome, its bronze doors shut for a century and a half since the last dragon died.

Ned is at the front of the procession, followed by Jory, Baelor, and other guards.

Behind them, I, Arya, Sansa, Gwen, and Septa Mordane are riding in a cart. 

As we enter the courtyard, Ned gets off his horse and is greeted by the Royal Steward "Welcome, Lord Stark. Grand Maester Pycelle has called a meeting of the Small Council. The honor of your presence is requested."

Ned to Septa Mordane "Get the girls settled in. I'll be back in time for supper" To Jory and Baelor "And both of you go with them."

Jory says "Yes, my lord."

Bash says "Yes, Lord Stark"

Royal Steward says "If you'd like to change into something more appropriate...?"

Ned gives Steward a blank stare before taking off his gloves. The Steward realizes Ned's disinterest and the two begin walking to the council chamber.

I jump from the cart and look around the courtyard, Baelor comes close to me "Gods this place is awful" We laugh looking at each other "Guide me, Bash"

Baelor acts like a guard "This way, Princess Lyanna"

I laugh walking with him inside the red keep and looking around this is where the Targaryen lived before but there is no such thing to prove they lived here.

The Red Keep is made of pale red stone and overlooks the mouth of the Blackwater Rush. The Red Keep has seven massive drum towers crowned with iron ramparts.

The castle is smaller than Winterfell and is patrolled by gold cloaks. Much of the Red Keep is connected underground. Massive curtain walls surround the castle, with nests and crenelations for archers.

Thick stone parapets, some four feet high, protect the outer edge of the wall ramparts, where the heads of traitors are traditionally placed on iron spikes between the crenels at the gatehouse.

The walls have great bronze gates and portcullises, with narrow postern doors nearby. The castle also has great cornerforts. The immense barbican has a cobbled square in front of it.
