Location from House of the Dragon by George R.R. Martin
Capital of the Seven Kingdoms, seat of the Iron Throne. A sprawling, stinking, magnificent city where the Green coup unseats Rhaenyra's claim and the Targaryen civil war tears the realm apart.
King's Landing sits where the Blackwater Rush meets the sea, built on the three hills Aegon the Conqueror named for himself and his sisters. It is a city of contradictions — the Red Keep's towers gleaming above streets clogged with filth and desperation. The Dragonpit crowns Rhaenys's Hill, housing the royal dragons that will be its undoing when the smallfolk storm it during the Dance. Flea Bottom festers below, a maze of pot-shops and misery where Blood and Cheese will find the tunnels that lead them to Helaena's children. During the Dance, the city changes hands twice. Under Green control it endures Rhaenyra's blockade; under Black control it turns against her. The riots that destroy the Dragonpit and its dragons mark the beginning of the end for Targaryen dragonlords.
A sprawling city on the Blackwater. The Red Keep crowns Aegon's Hill, the Dragonpit dominates the Hill of Rhaenys, and the Great Sept stands on Visenya's Hill. Flea Bottom festers below — narrow streets, open sewers, the smell of tanneries and desperation. A quarter million souls packed between walls.
