the Top of the Tower at the Southwestern Corner of the Palisade
   The southwestern tower is the one most used by the soldiers, primarily
because of its proximity to the marshalling grounds within the bailey.
The stairway up the tower seems extremely rickety, however thick beams have
been attached in an attempt to prevent it from falling without committing
any serious building attempts.

   The platform stretches along the western side of the bailey, high above
streets and shops below.  While many farms and villages can be seen to the
west, a spectacular view of the bailey itself is available.  The commoners
below scurry about quickly in their daily affairs, unmindful of the

The Top of the Tower at the Northwestern Corner of the Palisade
   The northwestern tower connects to the platforms about the city here,
providing access to the soldiers and archers who both watch out for and
protect the bailey of the castle.  Large rails have been erected, a safety
feature quite necessary, for in heavy winds the narrow passageways are
often very dangerous.

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.

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 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 Platform on the Palisade Leading Up to the Motte
   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
rot and is in dire need of either replacement or shoring up.  The edged 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.

   The platform on the palisade bends here as it crests the motte, turning
as it widens to sweep about the keep.  The large wooden logs of the palisade
provide a superior defense to attack, although it is unlikely an enemy would
choose this specific spot to attack.  Any unlucky foes caught below would
be held in a vicious three-way crossfire from archers.

   The southern platform on the palisade affords a clear view of the bailey

any enemies unwise enough to attack the motte directly.  The heavy wood of
the platform is reinforced here to prevent it from collapsing, and a railing
has been erected to prevent men from falling to their demise below.

A Bend in the Platform on the Motte Palisade
   The platform on the palisade bends here as it crests the motte, turning
as it widens to sweep about the keep.  The large wooden logs of the palisade
provide a superior defense to attack, although it is unlikely an enemy would
choose this specific spot to attack.  Any unlucky foes caught below would
be held in a vicious three-way crossfire from archers.

The Platform on the Palisade Leading Up to the Motte
   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
rot and is in dire need of either replacement or shoring up.  The edged 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 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 Northwestern Corner of the Palisade
   The northwestern tower connects to the platforms about the city here,
providing access to the soldiers and archers who both watch out for and
protect the bailey of the castle.  Large rails have been erected, a safety
feature quite necessary, for in heavy winds the narrow passageways are
often very dangerous.

The Bottom of the Tower at the Northwestern Corner of the Palisade
   This tower at the northwestern section of the palisade leads up to the

are foolish enough to attack the fortified position.  The rickety staircase
wobbles underfoot and several stop-gap measures have been taken to
reinforce the stairway.

A Dirt Road Along the Western Palisade
   The dirt road along the palisade stretches in front of the smithies’ ring
here.  A large open building, covered to protect the workers from the
elements, its design lends itself perfectly to large pickups of goods by
wagon.  A large booth in the center of the ring can be seen as the central
point of sales by the smithies.

The Limeburner's Store at the Front of the Smithies' Ring
   A large pile of limestone in the corner of the store is destined for the
forge, where the extreme temperatures will burn off the carbonates within
and leave the fine lime behind.  Used by builders for mortar, the substance
is very difficult to procure without extreme heat, and as such the other
smiths are often put out by the limeburners request for excessive heat.

The Bellfounder's Workshop in the Smithies' Ring
   Three large iron casts in the corner are used by the bellfounder to shape
the bells that he sells every day.  The smaller bells go to farmers and
merchants for their daily use, however large bells are often requested by
the local towns of the area for their churches or clock towers.  While not
a steady trade, the pay for such a job is considerable.

   The dirt lane of the road along the palisade intersects with the small
alley running between the grocers' and smithies’ quarters.  Large arcs in the
ground show where heavily laden wagons have turned off of one road to
another, and since this intersection provides the easiest access to both the
fish and the smithy markets it is traveled very heavily.
