You realise, however, that most of these things are too well known to be sold anywhere, without branding yourself as a thief, and condemning yourself to instant death at the hands of the Royal Guard. ~ 0 8200 0 E painting paintings carving carvings sculptures tapestries~ It seems they are stored here temporarily to enable changing of the decoration in the Castle on a regular basis. ~ D3 You see a large steel door. ~ door large steel~ 2 15207 15236 S #15238 The Guest Wing~ You have arrived at the part of the Castle where prominent guests are housed.

This room is small, and the only light source is a flickering candle, on a cluttered table, in the middle of the room. The only obvious exit is back down the stairs. ~ 0 8 0 E candle~ Small, uninteresting... A candle that is as normal as can be. ~ E table~ On the table are various objects, all very strange-looking. ~ D5 The stairs go down the tower. ~ ~ 0 -1 15234 S #15253 The Top of the Tower~ You have arrived at the top of the tower. This tower is pretty uninteresting, and seems made purely for reasons of defence and guarding. The windows are slits for bowmen, very narrow on the outward side and broad inwards to allow a wide shooting angle.
