Sea Dragon Tower is shaped like a dragon calmly gazing across the water.[1] The tower has apartments for nobles.[2][3]
The maester's chambers are located high atop Sea Dragon Tower.[1] The room has a long wooden table.[1] Steep iron steps lead up to the rookery, and beneath the rookery stair is a workroom with the maester's potions.[4] Gargoyles of a hellhound and a wyvern are found at the balcony outside the chamber.[4]
The turnpike stairs of the tower are narrow and twisting.[4][1] Noble prisoners can be held comfortably in Sea Dragon Tower's cells.[5] The tower also has a cellar.[6]
History
Dowager Queen Visenya Targaryen kept her chambers in Sea Dragon Tower during the reign of her nephew, King Aenys I Targaryen. [2]
