Thoroughfare of Alindaer

Thoroughfare of Alindaer
To the north-east, the foot of a white bridge stretches over the east side
of River Erinin and arches straight to the walls that surround the island
of Tar Valon, The tops of the high walls of gleaming white, silver-streaked
stone look down on the bridge's height. At intervals, guard towers interrupt
the walls, their massive footings washed by the river.

Travel to the Tower

The Traitors' Court
This grim, stoney courtyard is surrounded by smooth walls at least four
spans high. An archway leads into the Tower proper, shuttered by thick
oaken doors strengthened by steel bands. Only a fountain adorns the court,
spilling its water into a reflection of the grim walls and the shining
white beacon that is the White Tower.
