Overview
House Hightower of the Hightower of Oldtown is one of the most important and powerful vassals of House Tyrell. They posses a Valyrian Steel sword called Vigilance. Members of the house are considered loyal and stalwart. The Hightowers can be legitimately referred to as being either "of Hightower" or "of Oldtown."
The family is very old, existing since the Dawn of Days when they were petty-kings. Their stalwart neutrality in conflict has seen them prosper and able the keep their wealth, lands and privileges. They were integral in the foundation of the Citadel and continue to be patrons of both the Citadel and the Faith. House Hightower is as rich as House Lannister and can field three times as many swords as other Tyrell bannermen.
This is a shining era for this house that Lights the way. Their Lord Otto is Hand of the King, Otto's eldest daughter Alicent is Queen of Westeros. Oldtown is the seat of the Faith of the Seven and of Education as it is where The Citadel is located.
