The White Tower

User Image

There is only one true entrance to the castle and it is hidden. To get to the King you must first find your way up to the floating tower. In doing so a visitor would pass by several guards and checks to make sure that they are presentable. If they pass through all the checks and have proper approval they can request an audience with the King of Soul Society. (In essence, regardless of power, you still have to actually make your way up there and not just appear deus ex machina.) There are seven people allowed entrance into the King's Court Room at almost all times; the only exception being when the King himself seals the room. These seven are the four Royal Division Colonels and the three Imperial Inquisitors who reside in the lower tower directly across the central pool from the King's Tower. The Grand Inquisitor's Tower is where the rare cases that are deemed too vital to be handled in Soul Court are ruled on.
