On the Royal Plateau
   This area is surounded by very tall bushes which partition this
area from the rest the Keep.  Sweet music can be heard dancing in
the soft breeze.  This place is a traquill contrast from the market
place below.  The area here is not paved in stone, but is carpeted with
a plush grass.  This place would be an open range, were paths not
lined with lovely rose bushes.  The bushes clearly mark out directions
to follow.  All around the perimeter are bronze poles spitting purple
flames.
   To the west is a shop.  To the south lies the Forbidden Tower.  The
path continues eastward.

Entrance the Forbidden Tower
   Two stone gargoyle sentinels flank the entry way to this tower.
Below one is a sign.  Light from a nearby torch dances off the reflection
of the polished marble floor.  Intricate pilars reach some thirty
feet to the painted ceiling.  The paintings on the ceiling are
elaborate pieces of art, each a portrait of the Keep's previous
barons.  Oak furniture cushioned with soft stirge feathers is precisely
placed so as to enhance the rooms decor.  On one wall is a huge
oval mirror framed in gold leaf.
