— The Crownlands is one of the nine constituent regions of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. It was never a sovereign nation, instead being contested by river kings, Storm Kings, and local petty kings until Aegon the Conqueror seized control of the area during his Wars of Conquest and made it his primary foothold on the continent.

— The crownlands are based around Blackwater Bay, with the capital of King's Landing built where the Blackwater Rush meets the bay. King's Landing, the largest city in Westeros, contains the Great Sept of Baelor and the Red Keep. Settlements north of King's Landing include Antlers (seat of House Buckwell), Rosby (seat of House Rosby), Stokeworth (seat of House Stokeworth), and Duskendale (seat of House Rykker), the region's secondary port. Farther north are Rook's Rest (seat of House Staunton) and Crackclaw Point, a rugged peninsula of insular folk. North of Crackclaw Point are the Bay of Crabs and the Vale.

— The metropolis of King's Landing is the driving force of the region, with the largest population and harbor in the realm. Trade and taxes flow into the capital from every corner of the realm acknowledging the Iron Throne, and many foreign vessels ply their wares as well. Virtually every craft and trade is practiced here, from metalsmithing and shipbuilding to alchemy. Elsewhere, fishing and farming are the norm, with a smattering of the common professions.

— Along the kingsroad north of the capital, a traveler goes "past woods and orchards and neatly tended fields, through small villages, crowded market towns, and stout holdfasts." Snow is infrequent at King's Landing.

— The most Valyrian influence is felt in the Crownlands, as this is the capital region of the Seven Kingdoms. Houses of Valyrians include the royal family House Targaryen, as well as House Velaryon and House Celtigar. Valyrians have pale hair, violet or blue eyes, and the royal family often practices incest by wedding brother to sister. The Valyrians possess some amount of Greco-Roman influence.

— The crownlands have been ruled directly by the Iron Throne and House Targaryen. Bastards of noble origin raised in the crownlands are given the surname Waters. Some notable houses of the crownlands include Bar Emmon, Celtigar, Darklyn, Massey, Rosby, Stokeworth, Sunglass, and Velaryon.

House Targaryen of King's Landing/Dragonstone:
— House Targaryen is a noble family of Valyrian descent who ruled the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. The Targaryen sigil is a three-headed dragon breathing flames, red on black. The house words are "Fire and Blood". The typical Targaryen features are silver, platinum, or gold hair and eyes in shades of purple or light blue. The Targaryens can tolerate a bit more heat than most ordinary people; however, they are not immune to fire. Another trait typical to Targaryens is the ability to have premonition-like dreams. The Targaryens are seen as prone to madness, presumably caused by their inbreeding.
