Standing near the shore of the Whispering Sound south of Oldtown, this castle takes its name from its trio of towers. The Arbor lies offshore to the south-west across the Redwyne Straits.
House Costayne holds it under the Hightowers and the Tyrells. Its position on the sound gives the family a hand in the coastal traffic bound for Oldtown, and its knights serve in the hosts of the southern Reach.
