-->''"We are the knights of the mind."''
--> --'''Maester Luwin'''
An organization of scholars, healers, historians, scientists, philosophers, and other academics, the Maesters are headquartered at the Citadel in Oldtown, located in the Reach on the southwestern coast of Westeros at the mouth of the Honeywine River. Headed by the Archmaesters, they serve as advisors to the nobility of Westeros and advance scientific progress throughout the realm. The Grand Maester is elected by the Archmaesters and serves as advisor to the King, sitting on the Small Council. As a Maester masters a certain subject, they craft a new link for their Maester's chain, which they never take off. Both common and noble novices are accepted to the Citadel, and noble Maesters are expected to leave their House name behind and serve wherever they are sent. [[spoiler:Many of the Archmaesters have a hatred of magic and those who practice it, and are dedicated to stamping it out through any means necessary]].
----
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder: Tropes related to the Order]]
* AcademyOfAdventure: The Citadel of Oldtown seems to be shaping up this way.
* ALessonInDefeat: The final lesson to become a new maester is to spend all night in a dark room with a tall, sharp candlestick made of dragonglass. Some try to light the candles, but are only rewarded with frustration and bloody hands. The wiser new maesters wait the night. The lesson is that, though maesters strive to understand the world, there are some mysteries that simply cannot be uncovered.[[spoiler: That lesson is turned on its head right along with the worldview the Citadel is working toward when the glass candles in Archmaester Marwyn's study begin burning.]]
* AncientConspiracy: They appear to want to destroy magic in favor of science.[[spoiler: And according to Marwyn they were responsible for the extinction of dragons]]
* ImpartialPurposeDrivenFaction: Maesters give up their family names and loyalties and are expected to provide advise to whoever holds the castle they are assigned to. How "impartial" they actually are remains a subject of speculation and discussion both in-universe and among fans.
* CelibateHero: Maesters are ''supposed'' to be. In practice? Not so much.
* ExtranormalInstitute
* [[spoiler:MagicVersusScience: ''A Feast for Crows'' reveals that the Maesters running the Citadel, apart from "eccentrics" like Marwyn, want to eliminate magic]].
* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: {{Invoked|Trope}} by the Citadel; Maesters wear a chain with each link representing a field of study they've mastered, and are expected to earn [[JackOfAllTrades as many as they can]].
** But subverted, ultimately. While most maesters have a couple links in each discipline, the Archmaesters tend to be unquestioned experts in one, and only one, discipline.
* OneGenderSchool: The Citadel, much like the medieval universities it was inspired by.
* OnlyOneName: Maesters give up their family name as they are supposed to serve the realm itself.
* TheOrder
* WizardingSchool: The Citadel has elements of this trope. Along with medicine, alchemy and other topics, some Maesters choose to study "magic," though the most they learn is that it doesn't work, effectively making the study of magic a Westerosi equivalent of ADegreeInUseless. We later learn that [[spoiler:the dominant faction of the Citadel is strongly ''against'' magic and is trying to eradicate it. They might have been partially responsible for the extinction of Targaryen dragons, which caused magic to fade from the world for a while]].

!!!Archmaesters
[[folder: Archmaester Marwyn]]
!!Archmaester Marwyn
-->''"Prophecy will bite your prick off every time."''
An Archmaester of the Citadel obsessed with magic and forbidden knowledge. His ring, rod, and mask are made of Valyrian steel, representing his extensive study of magic.
----
* AgentMulder: He is inclined to believe in the continued existence of magic, something which the other Archmaesters disapprove of. Given that he has travelled all over Essos and consorted with Red Priests, wizards, warlocks, and other magic practitioners, he has much more experience with the fantastical than his colleagues and good reason to believe.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: The two mentions of him prior to his appearance are that he was a teacher of [[WickedWitch Mirri Maz Duur]] and that he was the only one at the Citadel who respected the research of [[MadDoctor Maester Qyburn]]. It is unclear to what extent if any Marwyn was involved with sinister practices of either, but it definitely casts him an a morally ambiguously light.

* JumpedAtTheCall: Sam has barely finished giving him Aemon's message [[spoiler:about Daenerys' dragons]] before he's started throwing together the stuff he'll need for the journey to reach her.
* WizardClassic: Subverted. He has [[EccentricMentor the personality]] and is one of the few maesters interested in magic, but looks nothing like the stereotype. Ironically, the maesters who do ''look'' the part are almost invariably skeptical of/opposed to magic.

----
* TheAce: He has been at the Citadel for less than a year, but has already earned three links. He is also an excellent shot with his bow, although it is implied that he misses a few shots so as to not draw too much suspicion on his skills.
* ArcherArchetype: Cool and collected, and extremely accurate with a bow. His bow is made from goldenheart, a rare wood from the Summer Islands that makes the best longbows.
* BigManOnCampus: He is one of the more popular students at the Citadel. Ironically, Alleras is not a large man. [[SweetPollyOliver And likely not a man at all]].

The third son of Ser Moryn Tyrell, Leo is a widely disliked novice at the Citadel.
----
* BlondGuysAreEvil: Notably the only blond Tyrell seen so far in the series, and the only one who is an outright jerk.
* TheBully: He isn't very well liked by the rest of the students at the Citadel because he enjoys mocking and picking on them all.
* InSeriesNickname: "Lazy" Leo.
* {{Jerkass}}: None of the other Novices like Leo, who is rude, arrogant, and a bully. However, they can't do anything about it since his a noble and the son of Ser Moryn Tyrell, who commands the City Watch of Oldtown, and his uncle Gormon is a high ranking maester. His favorite target to bully is Pate, and when Samwell Tarly meets him when he arrives at the Citadel, it is implied Leo once bullied him as well.
** JerkassHasAPoint: Despite being a jerkass, he is still observant and open minded enough to consider Archmaester Marwyn smarter than the other Archmaesters and doesn't automatically dismiss rumors of dragons and magic returning to the world like many of the more likable students do.

-->''"We are the knights of the mind."''
--> --'''Maester Luwin'''
An organization of scholars, healers, historians, scientists, philosophers, and other academics, the Maesters are headquartered at the Citadel in Oldtown, located in the Reach on the southwestern coast of Westeros at the mouth of the Honeywine River. Headed by the Archmaesters, they serve as advisors to the nobility of Westeros and advance scientific progress throughout the realm. The Grand Maester is elected by the Archmaesters and serves as advisor to the King, sitting on the Small Council. As a Maester masters a certain subject, they craft a new link for their Maester's chain, which they never take off. Both common and noble novices are accepted to the Citadel, and noble Maesters are expected to leave their House name behind and serve wherever they are sent. [[spoiler:Many of the Archmaesters have a hatred of magic and those who practice it, and are dedicated to stamping it out through any means necessary]].
----
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder: Tropes related to the Order]]
* AcademyOfAdventure: The Citadel of Oldtown seems to be shaping up this way.
* ALessonInDefeat: The final lesson to become a new maester is to spend all night in a dark room with a tall, sharp candlestick made of dragonglass. Some try to light the candles, but are only rewarded with frustration and bloody hands. The wiser new maesters wait the night. The lesson is that, though maesters strive to understand the world, there are some mysteries that simply cannot be uncovered.[[spoiler: That lesson is turned on its head right along with the worldview the Citadel is working toward when the glass candles in Archmaester Marwyn's study begin burning.]]
* AncientConspiracy: They appear to want to destroy magic in favor of science.[[spoiler: And according to Marwyn they were responsible for the extinction of dragons]]
* ImpartialPurposeDrivenFaction: Maesters give up their family names and loyalties and are expected to provide advise to whoever holds the castle they are assigned to. How "impartial" they actually are remains a subject of speculation and discussion both in-universe and among fans.
* CelibateHero: Maesters are ''supposed'' to be. In practice? Not so much.
* ExtranormalInstitute
* [[spoiler:MagicVersusScience: ''A Feast for Crows'' reveals that the Maesters running the Citadel, apart from "eccentrics" like Marwyn, want to eliminate magic]].
* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: {{Invoked|Trope}} by the Citadel; Maesters wear a chain with each link representing a field of study they've mastered, and are expected to earn [[JackOfAllTrades as many as they can]].
** But subverted, ultimately. While most maesters have a couple links in each discipline, the Archmaesters tend to be unquestioned experts in one, and only one, discipline.
* OneGenderSchool: The Citadel, much like the medieval universities it was inspired by.
* OnlyOneName: Maesters give up their family name as they are supposed to serve the realm itself.
* TheOrder
* WizardingSchool: The Citadel has elements of this trope. Along with medicine, alchemy and other topics, some Maesters choose to study "magic," though the most they learn is that it doesn't work, effectively making the study of magic a Westerosi equivalent of ADegreeInUseless. We later learn that [[spoiler:the dominant faction of the Citadel is strongly ''against'' magic and is trying to eradicate it. They might have been partially responsible for the extinction of Targaryen dragons, which caused magic to fade from the world for a while]].
