King's Landing

King’s Landing is the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, located on the east coast of Westeros, overlooking Blackwater Bay. It is the site of the Iron Throne and the Red Keep, the seat of the King. The main city is surrounded by a wall, manned by the City Watch of King’s Landing, also known as the Gold Cloaks. Poorer smallfolk build shanty settlements outside the city. King’s Landing is extremely populous, but rather unsightly and dirty compared to other cities. The stench of the city’s waste can be smelled far beyond its walls. It is the principal harbor of the Seven Kingdoms, rivaled only by Oldtown.
