Northern Guard's Walk, East Wall 2nd Floor
Provisions have been made here to add arrow slats, though the construction
was never completed. When the walls were built, square sections of stone were
made so they could be knocked out with a minimum of damage to the surrounding
bricks. When the hatches are installed, the defenses for this wall will be
complete. Since there is no entrance to the castle on this level, the patrols
are much lighter here. Consequently, there are fewer torches here and the
lighting is weak. To the north and south, the guards walk continues.

Northern Guard's Walk, East Wall
This section of the guard's walk runs north/south along the eastern wall.
Through arrow slits that have been left open in some places, the surface of
the cliffs can be seen extending eastward toward even higher peaks in the
mountains. The corridor is wide, but has a low ceiling which gives it a
cramped feeling. Numerous torch sconces light the way through the hall and
leave not one shadow to lurk in. There is a path in the center of the hall
worn dull by so many feet walking it over and over. The walls are flat stone
as is the ceiling, and both are remarkably unremarkable. The hall is
completely devoid of decoration. The hall continues south and to the north
is an iron door.

The air in this section of the hall seems abnormally stagnant. There are
no arrow slits, or windows of any kind. Apparently not much danger exists to
the north of the castle. The corridor is wide, but has a low ceiling which
combined with the torch smoke provides a very uncomfortable area. The torches
are held by more of the iron sconces so common to the castle. The worn path
down the center of the hall seems even more dull here, as if the stone were
older. This area of the hall appears to be under some sort of restoration.
The stone on the inner wall is freshly laid in some areas, and crumbling in
others. It continues to the west and an iron door lies to the east.

Eastern Guard's Walk, North Wall
The air in this section of the hall seems abnormally stagnant. There are
no arrow slits, or windows of any kind. Apparently not much danger exists to
the north of the castle. The corridor is wide, but has a low ceiling which
combined with the torch smoke provides a very uncomfortable area. The torches
are held by more of the iron sconces so common to the castle. The worn path
down the center of the hall seems even more dull here, as if the stone were
older. This area of the hall appears to be under some sort of restoration.

A Corner In the Ice Garden
This area is somewhat sheltered from the wind by the castle walls, but there
is no protection from the precipitory elements. All around are benches and
throne like chairs, some wooden, some iron, and a few carved straight out of
the icy snow. The garden is totally normal in all respects except everything
is encased in a thin layer of ice, as though it were a section of tropical
rainforest suddenly flash frozen. The flowers are bent slightly in one
direction as if swaying from a mild breeze when the arctic blast hit. The
whole scene makes for a rather ghastly paradox. A few shattered pieces of
purple orchid litter the pristine path through the garden. The garden
continues to the west and south, and an iron door is sunk into the north wall.

Wandering Through the Ice Garden
There seems to be an ever present trail through the garden, but it follows
no preordained route. A nice swath of walking area has been left in between
all the growth to allow travel in any direction not blocked by castle wall.
The entire spectrum of color is represented in the scene, from deep greens of
the leaves, to light purple raindrops frozen in time as they prepare to leap
from a tree branch. A covered gazebo provides shelter to the west, and the
garden continues to the south and east.

A Covered Gazebo Lost Among the Frozen Flowers
Framed in pine, this large gazebo provides strong shelter from the snow,
but not the wind. Intertwined between the lattice work and the roof, is a
long vine that wraps in and out of the cross hatching circling the roof at
least seven times. Every few feet on the vine, a flower of a different
species grows in solitude, each encased in a delicate sheath of ice.
Accommodating benches line the outer edge, with central round bench facing
outward, dominating the center of the structure. A thin layer of ice covers
the whole of the construction excepting the bench surfaces which have been
chipped clean to allow for use. The floor has also been cleaned and swept of
snow. Exits leads to the south, east, and west.

Wandering Through the Ice Garden
A sculpture of a young woman juts straight out of the snow here. She is
carved from mostly ice, but some sections look like hard pack frozen snow.
She is gazing up at the sky, clothed only in a shawl of some sort. At her
feet, sitting quietly awaiting her bidding, a large dog pays her the most
attention he is capable of. Although she is all alone, there is no despair on
her face, or sadness in her eyes. She wears the face of love, as though
awaiting the return of a long absent mate. A covered gazebo provides shelter
to the east, and the garden continues to the south and west.

Wandering Through the Ice Garden
If it were not for the obvious abnormalities of the surroundings, it would
be quite pleasant. But alas, the sheer strangeness of the garden cannot
co-exist with comfort. A rigid bench made from bamboo trees sits sheltered
under the icy bow of a eucalyptus tree, that in a warmer climate might be used
by young lovers. A patch of gorgeous yellow orchids stands frozen in time in
a small iron arbor to the left of the path. In between the yellow petals, a
purple flower emerges claiming dominion over the patch. What appears to be a
tool shed lies to the south, and the garden continues to the east, west, and
north.

A Frozen Fountain In the Ice Garden
Amidst the frozen orchids and hibiscus, a fountain of beautiful marble
construction lies frozen in action. The fountain is a simple design with a
round basin on the bottom and a long thin tower in the center from which water
flows in all directions forming a circular waterfall. The water arcing from
the center piece to the basin below is frozen in flight forever in the icy
grasp of whatever seized the forest. A collection of droppings on the snow
beneath the fountain seem to indicate something is coming hear for water, or
ice at least. A gazebo lies to the north, and the icy garden is visible to
the east and west.
