Along the Southeastern Edge of the Bailey Palisade
The dirt lane along the southern palisade is not very well traveled at
this particular point except by soldiers and those interested in the store
of the herbalist around the corner. Virtually no wagon trails are in sight,
although the road has been beaten flat by the constant foot traffic of the
soldiers traveling to their posts on the palisade platforms above.

The Bottom of the Tower at the Southeastern Corner of the Palisade
The southeastern tower stairway stands here, designed to allow soldiers
and archers a manner of passage to the platforms above. The rickety stair-
way, while looking quite fragile, has been reinforced with several thick
logs, and various support beams are nailed to the railing. The mortar at
the bottom of the tower is beginning to crumble, however the rest of the
structure appears to be in immaculate condition.

An Intersection of Roads Along the Eastern Palisade
The road between the artisans' and scholars' quarters meets here with the
dirt lane against the palisade. Unlike most intersections in the city, this
one is not rutted deeply by wagon tracks, although foot traffic looks to
have been quite heavy. The flora along the path grows slowly, mostly
consisting of weeds and the odd tuft of grass.

The Top of the Tower at the Northeastern Corner of the Palisade
The gateway to the platforms of the palisade at the northeastern corner
of the bailey, this tower is made of solid granite. While prohibitively
expensive, its solid defensive nature makes the tower impregnable to
virtually any of the mundane methods of siege. Magical assaults are a
different store, and scorch marks attest to the vulnerability of a tower
such as this in a fight involving wizards.

A Narrow Platform Along the Northern Palisade
The northern side of the bailey palisade is in all probability the side
least likely to come under attack. Due to its proximity to the motte, an
enemy is unlikely to draw near without detection, and the crossfire between
the archers here and by the keep would be very devastating. The platform
as such is not as well manned as the rest of the platform, however it is
still under guard night and day.

The platform bends to the north here, following the palisade as it leaves
the bailey behind and walks its way up up the motte to the keep. The
large wooden structure has been designed with two goals in mind, easy
defense of the castle in event of attack, and quick mobility of the soldiers
without resorting to the often commoner filled streets of the bailey below.

The palisade stretches up the steep slope of the motte, approaching the
keep above. Narrow and rickety, the wood of the platform is beginning to

the palisade logs have been whittled to a sharp point, to aid in defense of

the palisade logs have been whittled to a sharp point, to aid in defense of
the ledge should an attacker attempt to scale it.

A Bend in the Platform Along the Northern Palisade
The platform bends to the north here, following the palisade as it leaves
the bailey behind and walks its way up up the motte to the keep. The
large wooden structure has been designed with two goals in mind, easy
defense of the castle in event of attack, and quick mobility of the soldiers
without resorting to the often commoner filled streets of the bailey below.

A Narrow Platform Along the Northern Palisade
The northern side of the bailey palisade is in all probability the side
least likely to come under attack. Due to its proximity to the motte, an
enemy is unlikely to draw near without detection, and the crossfire between
the archers here and by the keep would be very devastating. The platform
as such is not as well manned as the rest of the platform, however it is
still under guard night and day.

The Top of the Tower at the Northeastern Corner of the Palisade
The gateway to the platforms of the palisade at the northeastern corner
of the bailey, this tower is made of solid granite. While prohibitively
expensive, its solid defensive nature makes the tower impregnable to
virtually any of the mundane methods of siege. Magical assaults are a
different store, and scorch marks attest to the vulnerability of a tower
such as this in a fight involving wizards.

A Narrow Platform Along the Eastern Palisade
This platform looks over the countryside to the east of the castle,
consisting mainly of farmer's fields and the occasional sheep pasture.
The wood of the platform is well worn from the constant guard duty, however
it is also reinforced by heavy wooden planks. A railing has been added to
keep the soldiers from falling off during heavy winds.

The Top of the Tower at the Southeastern Corner of the Palisade
The tower connects with the platforms leading west over to the bailey
gates, as well as to the north to eventually bend around to the keep on the
motte itself. The platforms are made of wood, however they are heavily
supported by crossbeams. The tower is made of heavy rock, with sufficient
mortar to keep the stones from crumbling for many years.

The Bottom of the Tower at the Southeastern Corner of the Palisade
The southeastern tower stairway stands here, designed to allow soldiers
and archers a manner of passage to the platforms above. The rickety stair-
way, while looking quite fragile, has been reinforced with several thick
logs, and various support beams are nailed to the railing. The mortar at
the bottom of the tower is beginning to crumble, however the rest of the
structure appears to be in immaculate condition.

The dirt lane along the southern palisade is not very well traveled at
this particular point except by soldiers and those interested in the store
of the herbalist around the corner. Virtually no wagon trails are in sight,
although the road has been beaten flat by the constant foot traffic of the
soldiers traveling to their posts on the palisade platforms above.
