Northern Guard's Walk, West Wall
Large openings, covered by steel hatches, run the length of the outer wall
in this section of the guard's walk. This is the western wall of the castle,
and faces the most threat, next to the front wall, from assault. Most of the
hatches are closed but a few are open to allow for air flow. Along the base
of the outer wall, jugs are lined as far as the eye can see. The corridor is
wide, but has a low ceiling which gives it a cramped feeling. Numerous torch
sconces light the way through the hall and leave not one shadow to lurk in.
There is a path in the center of the hall worn dull by so many feet walking it
over and over. The walls are flat stone as is the ceiling, and both are
remarkably unremarkable. The hall continues north and south, while an iron
door leads east.

The Western End of the West Hall
This hall is like the east hall, in that it shows the visual history of the
castle and its army. Most of the images in this section are of a terrible
battle at the edge of the world. This scene takes place in an icy vale
between two great mountain peaks. Huge white winged dragons swoop down from
the mountain tops bearing fearless highlanders into bloody battle.
Empty suits of armor, placed on a standing rack elegantly serve as torch
holders, and give a sense of majesty to the hall. The empty suits hold a
torch in one hand, and a flag staff in the other. The ceiling is very high
here, and banners hang down, leaving little room to swing a sword. The hall
runs east and an iron door leads west while a wooden door leads north.

The West Hall
Most of the images here are of a terrible battle at the edge of the world.
Nothing but vast wastelands of ice and snow are depicted, covered in bodies
both dead and alive, and a few in between. A small blue figure stands in the
center of it all, apparently grappling with a sorceror judging from the
flaring lights and shrouds of flame surrounding him. The numerically superior
forces of one side, dressed in blue, seem to be gaining the edge over the
others but victory is not yet at hand. Up above the main battlefield, a few
of the white forces stand together in a circle, weaving runes and casting a
powerful spell if the size of the black monster above them is any indication.
The hall runs east and west.

A Corner in the Guards Walk
This room is strategically very important. There are stairs leading up and
down here to the other floors of the castle. Controlling the corners of the
castle was obviously very important to the castle designer considering the
thickness of the iron doors that lead to the perimeter halls. There are arrow
slits cut into the stone in both exterior walls, which are currently covered
by sliding iron doors. A bench sits against the wall next to a water barrel.
Doors lead to the south and to the east.

Western Guard's Walk, North Wall 2nd Floor
The renovation going on in the eastern guard's walk has already been
completed here. Brand new floor slates lay perfectly squared in between
grouted tracks. The new wall tiles are thin stone wafers grouted to the wall
on top of each other, making layer upon layer of edged surface. The white
paste dust that hangs in the air when laying tile has long since cleared, and
the sediment swept away. The new hall looks much like the ground floor of
the castle, sparkling clean and frighteningly cultured. To the east the
guards walk continues, and an iron door leads west.

Northern Guard's Walk, West Wall 2nd Floor
Sneaking in through tiny cracks around the edges of arrow hatches, an icy
draft crawls down the hall. The constant hissing and whistling grows
increasingly louder as the wind picks up. Many of the torches have gone out

to crumble and fall away, exposing the understone that makes up the framework
of the castle. To the south the guards walk continues, and an iron door leads

Southern Guard's Walk, West Wall 2nd Floor
This is the section of hall most traveled on the second floor of the
castle, with the exception of the Marble Gallery. In close proximity are the
castle's archives and the upper floor of the barracks, though members of the
guard are forbidden to enter the Gallery, they often sneak through. A heavy
path is beaten down the hall, showing years of use and abuse. Surprisingly
enough, the stone has maintained its integrity and has not fallen apart like
some of the less used areas of the guard's walk. To the north and south, the
guards walk continues. An iron door leads east into the white marble hall.

Western End of An Elegant Marble Gallery
Mirror polished marble slabs of a magnificent gray and white, have been
perfectly cut and fit to form the floor of the majestic gallery that spans
from one side of the castle to the other. The sheer size of the hall makes it
feel like an open field. Marvelous mahogony banisters run the length of the
hall on both sides, and the walls are paneled in the same fashion from the
floor up to the varnished rails. The rest of the wall, from the banister to
the ceiling, is sectioned marble slabs like the floor. A thick, plush red
carpet stretches from end to end, forming a narrow walkway down the hall, to
protect the perfect sheen of the floor. The wood rails are varnished with a
deep almond stain that bears not a scratch or a blemish. No dust has been
allowed to settle here, it is swept, cleaned, and polished daily. The gallery
continues to the east, and an iron door leads west. An arched portal with a
lovely carved wood door leads south.

Northwestern Corner In the Castle's Archives
Magnificent shelves lined with books from floor to ceiling cover the walls,
and even more volumes cover the thick maple table tops throughout the room.
Luxorius couches and lounge chairs are placed in strategic locations where the
light is best for reading. There are enough books here to read from present
day to infinitum and still never finish. The room is well lit by hanging
candle lamps with shiny reflectors above them, directing the light downwards,
thus shrouding the ceiling in shadow. A ladder is stationed next to the
shelves, for accessing the top level. The Archives continue to the east and

Strategy guides from Evermeet, tactical handbooks smuggled up from

hand to hand combat techniques of swamp troll warriors. Several volumes lie

The West Wing of an Elegant Marble Gallery
Many hours have been spent cleaning and preparing the Gallery to look this
magnificent. Each and every surface has been carefully dusted, wiped, and
polished. One would think it was being prepared for guests, but the hall is
scarcely used from the looks of it. There are no footprints or disruptions in
the knap of the carpet, even near the doors. If it is used at all, the carpet
must be re-combed several times a day to remove any sign of use. All of the
castles facilities on this floor can be reached through the gallery, in fact
most of them require passing through it to reach them. In the southwest
corner lies the castles archives, and in the northwest lies the second floor
of the barracks. To the northeast is the massive round table where Strife and
her leadership make plans and discuss matters of the castle, and finally in
the southeast is Strife's personal trophy room, where she displays her proudest
moments of violence. The gallery continues to the east and west.

The West Wing of an Elegant Marble Gallery
Many hours have been spent cleaning and preparing the Gallery to look this
magnificent. Each and every surface has been carefully dusted, wiped, and
polished. One would think it was being prepared for guests, but the hall is
scarcely used from the looks of it. There are no footprints or disruptions in
the knap of the carpet, even near the doors. If it is used at all, the carpet
must be re-combed several times a day to remove any sign of use. All of the
castles facilities on this floor can be reached through the gallery, in fact
most of them require passing through it to reach them. In the southwest
corner lies the castles archives, and in the northwest lies the second floor
of the barracks. To the northeast is the massive round table where Strife
and her leadership make plans and discuss matters of the castle, and finally
in the southeast is Strife's personal tropy room, where she displays her
proudest moments of violence. The gallery continues to the east and west, and
the entrance to the barracks lies north.

Entrance to the Barracks, Second Floor
This wide hall branches north off of the main artery across the castle, the
marble gallery. The hall looks as though it were hewn from the surrounding
rock, however it is constructed of black stone that was cut rough and has a
natural appearance. There are no torches or sconces here, and the ambient
light from surrounding rooms is quite poor. The ceiling is cut like the walls,
but the floor is smooth cut for walking. The hall leads north into the
barracks and south, towards the marble gallery.

Second Floor Landing In the Barracks Stairwell
This is obviously a heavily traveled stairway, from the worn path in the
center. The stairs are stone as are the walls. No special care was taken in
decorating this area, in fact it appears special was taken not to decorate it
at all. Sconces are placed along the wall at long intervals, providing enough
light to travel without wasting torches. The main entrance to the second
floor barracks can be found to the south, and a black stone corridor lies to
the north.

A Black Stone Hall
The hall looks as though it were hewn from the surrounding rock, however it

There are no torches or sconces here, and the ambient light from surrounding
rooms is quite poor. The ceiling is cut like the walls, but the floor is

East End of a Black Stone Hall
The hall runs west from here, back towards the barracks. The hall looks as
though it were hewn from the surrounding rock, however it is constructed of
black stone that was cut rough and has a natural appearance. There are no
torches or sconces here, and the ambient light from surrounding rooms is quite
poor. The ceiling is cut like the walls, but the floor is smooth cut for
walking. A shiny metal door leads south.

Office of the Commander
This office is designed for maximum space efficiency. It has no desk, only
a work surface that folds up against the wall when not in use. A huge
bookcase takes up the entire southern wall, filled with books, some old, some
new, and a few that appear ancient. A folding chair leans against the wall
next to the folding work surface. A rack of pole-arms, axes, and swords is
built into the east wall, it holds all manner of training weapons. Rolled up
in the northeastern corner lies a tumbling mat, for use in training. Large
maps of the castle and the surrounding mountain terrain are posted all over
the walls. The main oil fed lamp dangling on a thin chain in the center of
the room sheds plenty of light, and the only exit is to the north.
