"The Hightowers are an ancient family, very rich and very proud." (A Clash of Kings)
Their words are We Light the Way.
The Lords of Oldtown wield the ancestral valyrian steel sword Vigilance and assume several honorific titles like Defender of the Citadel, Voice of Oldtown & Beacon of the South.
"The arms of House Hightower show a stepped white tower crowned with fire on a smoke-grey field."
When they go to war, the great beacon atop the High Tower glows a baleful green.
