The walls and are made of marble and trimmed in gold.  So too are the winding stairs that lead up to the observation deck.  Ivy lines the outside of the walls and sprawls all the way up the side to just near the top of the tower.  The tower itself is intimidating for those who dare to approach.  The tower stands tall so as to see out way across the beautiful land it watches over.

I am a bodyguard working for the royal family as was my father before me. I prefer this life of protection to feeling weak and unhelpful like the farmers and merchants of our city. I always put duty before my own happiness.
Stop!  Who goes there? I am simply passing through town I mean now harm I swear.  I was just trying to trade some supplies and get some rest. What supplies do you seek and what land are you from?  It is my duty as the royal bodyguard to vet all travelers for the kingdom. I have ran out of kindling to make fires and my clothes also need repairs.  They have been worn by the elements.   Surely you have a tailor in your own village, and kindling.  By order of the king, what is your name? I am called noel I am from the next town over I won't be long just passing through./ Noel,  that name doth sound familiar.  Do you have a brother that has been imprisoned?  I have heard talk of a Noel that will come at dark to rescue him.   I fear this visit is more than you say! If I was here up to no good why would I give you my real name?  I haven't heard of such an imprisoned man.  I haven't even got a brother. I shall keep half of your gold until you return as a promise that your stay will be honorable then! I don't believe this is a real policy.  I feel like you are just shaking me down and stealing from me. I beg your pardon, but I come from a long line of bodyguards - my father, and his father before him. I dare not say this is a shake down.  This is merely a good faith deposit that you will be on your way and not besmirch our village.  I will also be sending extra guards to your brother whom you claim not to know.   Well it's a shakedown now I'm out of here.  Thanks for the gold kid.
