==Quotes== [[File:Red Keep.jpg|thumb|The Red Keep in ''[[Game of Thrones]]'']] {{Quote|My descendants shall rule here for a thousand years.{{Ref|FAB|4}}|declaration of [[Aenys I Targaryen]]}} {{Quote|The Red Keep has its secrets, known only to the dead.{{Ref|FAB|4}}|writings of [[Gyldayn]]}} {{Quote|[[Eddard Stark|His father]] would be the [[Hand of the King]], and they were going to live in the red castle at [[King's Landing]], the castle the [[House Targaryen|Dragonlords]] had built. [[Old Nan]] said there were [[ghosts]] there, and dungeons where terrible things had been done, and [[Skulls of the Targaryen dragons|dragon heads]] on the walls.{{ref|AGOT|8}}|thoughts of [[Bran Stark]]}} {{Quote|And above it all, frowning down from [[Aegon's high hill]], was the Red Keep; seven huge drum-towers crowned with [[iron]] ramparts, an immense grim barbican, vaulted halls and covered bridges, barracks and dungeons and granaries, massive curtain walls studded with archers' nests, all fashioned of pale red stone. [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Conqueror]] had commanded it built. His son [[Maegor I Targaryen|Maegor the Cruel]] had seen it completed. Afterward he had taken the heads of every stonemason, woodworker, and builder who had labored on it. Only the [[House Targaryen|blood of the dragon]] would ever know the secrets of the fortress the [[Dragonlords]] had built, he vowed.{{Ref|AGOT|18}}|thoughts of [[Catelyn Stark]]}} {{Quote|The Red Keep has ways known only to [[ghosts]] and [[spider]]s.{{Ref|AGOT|30}}|[[Varys]] to [[Eddard Stark]]}} {{Quote|The Red Keep shelters two sorts of people, Lord Eddard. Those who are loyal to [[Seven Kingdoms|the realm]], and those who are loyal only to themselves. {{Ref|AGOT|30}}|[[Varys]] to [[Eddard Stark]]}} {{Quote|[[Eddard Stark|Father]] said the Red Keep was smaller than [[Winterfell]], but in her dreams it had been immense, an endless stone maze with that seemed to shift and change behind her.{{Ref|AGOT|32}}|thoughts of [[Arya Stark]]}} {{Quote|The only palace I desire is the red castle at [[King's Landing]], my lord Pyat.{{Ref|ACOK|27}}|[[Daenerys Targaryen]] to [[Pyat Pree]]}} {{Quote|[[Blackwater Rush|The river]] that had seemed so narrow from a distance now stretched wide as a sea, but [[King's Landing|the city]] had grown gigantic as well. Glowering down from [[Aegon's High Hill]], the Red Keep commanded the approaches. Its [[iron]]-crowned battlements, massive towers, and thick red walls gave it the aspect of a ferocious beast hunched above river and streets. The bluffs on which it crouched were steep and rocky, spotted with lichen and gnarled thorny trees.{{Ref|ACOK|58}}|thoughts of [[Davos Seaworth]]}} {{Quote|No one knew the Red Keep better than [[Varys|the eunuch]].{{Ref|ASOS|67}}|thoughts of [[Jaime Lannister]]}} {{Quote|''It is my day now. It is my castle and [[Seven Kingdoms|my kingdom]]''.{{Ref|AFFC|12}}|thoughts of [[Cersei Lannister]]}}
