Run down and smelly, the barracks houses a dozen of the king's guardsmen.  It's made of wooden slats nailed together somewhat hastily, and the brisk air from the outside whistles through some small cracks between the panels.  There are six beds in an open sleeping quarter, with a wooden chest at the end of the bed where the guardsmen store their personal belongings.

As Kingsguard my duty is to protect my Lord. I am sworn to defend him into death and beyond. My honor is my life.
Tonight at full moon! Bugger, I need some rest. If that old buffon would do his job right I wouldnt be having to double up on rotation. Bastard went and got himself hurt from falling off the walls. Arggg, that is a shame, here take a sip of this ale to ease your troubles! Thanks friend. How long have you been in the King's Guard. I have been the Kings valiant guard since before the new King. I am a Royal Guard; what about you friend? Far too long. How long exactly? I lost track a long time ago.  For 3 decades!! Me whole life as I can remember it!! A better man than I. What made you want to join the guard? The honor and glory of defending the King and the good people, what about yourself? I really knew no other path for my life. I was big and strong so I decided that the guard was the perfect place for me. Along the way though, the duties got boring and tiresome. I need some real action, not walking the wall every bloody day. You are not alone my friend, hang in there, you have a purpose and a duty to fulfill. Aye, I better get going to my rotation. Thanks for the ale and the chat friend. I will see you around yeah?
