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

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 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.

A Narrow Platform on the Southern Motte Palisade
The southern platform on the palisade affords a clear view of the bailey
below, and also supplies an excellent vantage point for archers to attack
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 Narrow Platform at the Southeastern Corner of the Palisade
This platform at the southeastern corner is especially reinforced, as in
times of war it is heavily manned with soldiers and archers to rain death
down upon a foe below. The heavy planking is supplemented with thick iron
support beams, and small holes have been drilled in the palisade to afford
an archer a shot at an enemy below while offering him superior protection.

A Narrow Platform on the Eastern Motte Palisade
The platforms on the eastern palisade are narrow and rickety, however
more than functional. As stations for archers during attack, an incoming
enemy is often whittled down before even reaching the crest of the motte
below. Small niches carved in the palisade hold stocks of arrows, making
resupply during combat much easier.

A Heavy Stone Platform on the Eastern Tower
This massive tower is capped by a huge platform holding several war
engines, among them mangonels, catapults and ballistas. Piles of ammunition
nearby are ready in case heavy firing breaks out, and a heavy block and
tackle is available for for lifting more if the need arises. The weapons
are chocked in place, but are ready to roll into position.

A Musky Hallway Through The Keep
The Dusty Hallway through the keep runs from the eastern tower of the
palisade straight through to the western side, providing excellent mobility
and access for the soldiers. Access to several important areas of the keep
are gained though this hallway, included in which are the Duke's chambers,
theArchbishop's chambers, the guest room, as well as the meeting hall.
