Before the Du'kel Mansion
   There are two loyal guards protecting the front entrance of the kingdom's
largest mansion, which belongs to Lord Du'Kel. Lord Du'kel is the king's most
trusted ally. He is a powerful retainer and a master of logistics. Having a
man who knows how to move arms and men must be trustworthy and good with
numbers. Lord Du'Kel was a brilliant soldier in his life and an even more
brilliant pusher of wars. He has served the king faithfully for any number of
years in any number of ways. His insignia is that of a flaming dragon. It is
embedded into the two doubled doors of the mansion, which is very large and
has a many stained glass windows with many different designs upon them. The
mansion was constructed using wood, brick, stone, and mortar. There is a small
fence running the perimeter of a plush green yard which keeps small animals
out. The king depends on his retainers for support and if Lord Du'Kel ever
turned against him then he would be doomed for sure politically.

A Red-Hued Brick Road
   The brick road is neatly constructed and is very fine. The brick was
chiseled by master workmen. They fit evenly next to one another and are almost
seamless. This is impressive workmanship only fit for the finest of roads.
The brick was stained the color red and the road spans a good twenty feet
wide. It runs northeastward toward the great castle of Valois, and the castle
walls can be seen from this distance. A few shouts can be heard from here from
guards on top of the castle walls. These guards are expert archers with uncanny
marksmanship. They have been trained in the arts of war and have been masters,
just like most of the Valoisian guard, for many years. It takes years of
practice and studying to be admitted into the world's richest and most powerful
army. It does not discriminate against anyone, but it only accepts those truly
committed. All sons of Valois are honored to be dressed in warrior garb under
the kingdoms banner. It is considered a time honored privilege to serve the
king and country. The road continues northeast toward the castle.

Before a Large Courtyard
   The king's castle rises a good thirty feet in the air to the north. Guards
forever pace the parapets never to let up their guard even though they are,
in their minds, in the safest spot within the realm. The brilliant black
cobblestones that make up the road are perfectly square and have been laid out
purposely to form a well constructed non-faulty road that gives pleasure to
the nobles that live nearby. The guests of Valois are often taken by the
exquisite design and craftsmanship of the royal roads. Great care has been
taken and afforded in the building of these roads and are the source of great
pride throughout the realm. The great king of Valois resides in the castle to

demons in the mountains to the north. He is the greatest king in all the land.

A Cobblestone Road
   This road leads to the great castle Valois. Valois is the greatest castle in
all the lands. It is the meeting place of all of the races of the world. They
discuss matters of the state and trade. It is the one place that all the races
can come together to discuss their interests. It is also one of the most secure
castles in all of the land and boasts an army greater than most. The elves
enjoy this great castle and the many luxuries it affords. The dwarven nation
marvels at the design of this castle and the architecture within. The humans
don't pay much attention to the king or the castle but are resolved to work out
their own interests. The barbarians enjoy the celebrations and the food that
the great castle serves. Ulgris, the king of the castle, has an estate larger
than most provinces. He has a royal line of retainers that are powerful in
their own ways and just as rich and influential. The great king relies on their
expertise and their loyalty. Having great retainers makes a great king. This
cobblestone road was built years ago when the castle was first built. It isn't
much but it is the only road leading to the great Voloisian castle.

A Guard Station
   This is the huge iron gate leading toward the great castle of Valois.
Its huge iron frame is dotted with dull knobs to enforce it against battering
rams and lesser assaults. The hinges are secured deep into the brick wall with
thick metal bolts. Huge timbers lean against the wall, used to block the gate
if the kingdom is ever invaded. Two small towers flank the gate, each one
housing a single guard. These provide a constant watch for invaders. Guards
man these gates at all times during the day and night. Intruders have been
caught before trying to sneak their way into the area. Ruffians and shady
people are turned away from the castle. The road continues to the east and
runs toward the massive castle to the north. The castle Valois is protected
at all times with massive forces. It is said to have a large armed force
protecting the gates at all times and even a deadlier squad of warriors inside
warding against assassins. The wind creates a whining sound.

Before the Du'kel Mansion
   There are two loyal guards protecting the front entrance of the kingdom's
largest mansion, which belongs to Lord Du'Kel. Lord Du'kel is the king's most
trusted ally. He is a powerful retainer and a master of logistics. Having a
man who knows how to move arms and men must be trustworthy and good with
numbers. Lord Du'Kel was a brilliant soldier in his life and an even more
brilliant pusher of wars. He has served the king faithfully for any number of
years in any number of ways. His insignia is that of a flaming dragon. It is
embedded into the two doubled doors of the mansion, which is very large and
has a many stained glass windows with many different designs upon them. The
mansion was constructed using wood, brick, stone, and mortar. There is a small
fence running the perimeter of a plush green yard which keeps small animals
out. The king depends on his retainers for support and if Lord Du'Kel ever
turned against him then he would be doomed for sure politically.

A Cobblestone Road
   This road leads to the great castle Valois. Valois is the greatest castle in
all the lands. It is the meeting place of all of the races of the world. They
discuss matters of the state and trade. It is the one place that all the races
can come together to discuss their interests. It is also one of the most secure
castles in all of the land and boasts an army greater than most. The elves
enjoy this great castle and the many luxuries it affords. The dwarven nation
marvels at the design of this castle and the architecture within. The humans
don't pay much attention to the king or the castle but are resolved to work out
their own interests. The barbarians enjoy the celebrations and the food that
the great castle serves. Ulgris, the king of the castle, has an estate larger
than most provinces. He has a royal line of retainers that are powerful in
their own ways and just as rich and influential. The great king relies on their
expertise and their loyalty. Having great retainers makes a great king. This
cobblestone road was built years ago when the castle was first built. It isn't
much but it is the only road leading to the great Voloisian castle.

A Guard Station
   This is the huge iron gate leading toward the great castle of Valois.
Its huge iron frame is dotted with dull knobs to enforce it against battering
rams and lesser assaults. The hinges are secured deep into the brick wall with
thick metal bolts. Huge timbers lean against the wall, used to block the gate
if the kingdom is ever invaded. Two small towers flank the gate, each one
housing a single guard. These provide a constant watch for invaders. Guards
man these gates at all times during the day and night. Intruders have been
caught before trying to sneak their way into the area. Ruffians and shady
people are turned away from the castle. The road continues to the east and
runs toward the massive castle to the north. The castle Valois is protected
at all times with massive forces. It is said to have a large armed force
protecting the gates at all times and even a deadlier squad of warriors inside
warding against assassins. The wind creates a whining sound.
