===[[House Hightower]]=== [[File:House Hightower.svg|150px|right]] The Hightowers of [[Oldtown]] are among the oldest and proudest of the Great Houses of [[Westeros]], tracing their descent back to the [[First Men]]. Once [[King of the High Tower|kings]], they have ruled Oldtown and its environs since the [[Dawn of Days]], welcoming the [[Andals]] rather than resisting them, and later bending the knee to the [[Kings of the Reach]] and giving up their crowns whilst retaining all their ancient privileges. Though powerful and immensely wealthy, the Lords of the [[High Tower]] have traditionally preferred trade to battle, and have seldom played a large part in the wars of Westeros. The Hightowers were instrumental in the founding of the [[Citadel]] and continue to protect it to this day. Subtle and sophisticated, they have always been great patrons of learning and [[Faith of the Seven|the Faith]], and it is said that certain of them have also dabbled in [[alchemy]], [[necromancy]], and other sorcerous arts. The arms of House Hightower show a stepped white tower crowned with fire on a smoke-grey field. The House words are ''We Light the Way''. {{Tree list}} *[[Leyton Hightower|LEYTON HIGHTOWER]], Voice of [[Oldtown]], Lord of the Port, Lord of the High Tower, Defender of the Citadel, Beacon of the South, called THE OLD MAN OF OLDTOWN, ** LADY [[Rhea Florent|RHEA]] of [[House Florent]], his fourth wife, ** Lord Leyton's eldest son and heir, SER [[Baelor Hightower|BAELOR]], called BAELOR BRIGHTSMILE, m.
