Set on the road running north-east from King's Landing towards Duskendale, Rosby is a modest castle with a village and fields around it. The capital lies close enough for its lord to attend court easily.
House Rosby holds it, a minor crownlands family sworn directly to the Iron Throne. Its proximity to King's Landing has always mattered more than its size, since even small crownlands holdings can supply men quickly to the capital.
