The battlements are on top of the castle, in between the towers. These walkways have raised walls to prevents soldiers from fall off them or being picked off by archers. The walkways have narrow slots carved out at regular intervals for archers to aim through with getting hit themselves. There are also wider slots at longer intervals with cannons stationed at them. Flush against the outside walls are short, long boxes for soldiers to place their extra weapons in when preparing for a seige.

I am often employed to be a soldier in someone's army. I am a very good show with my bow and arrow. I like the heat of battle.
Do you have any idea why we were called up here? I was just going to ask the same thing. I'm thinking we may be attacking soon. Attacking? Who could we attack all the way up here except for invaders?  We can at least scout up here I suppose, I surely hope we are not being attacked by... the nation in the north. Me neither. The nation in the north is incredibly strong. They have such a strong army and comparable weaponry as well. They are likely the only real threat to us. I know. Their weaponry is the best in all the land. It would take a lot of skill and planning to defeat them.  I believe we have the superior strategy so I am not too worried. You're hopefully right. I wonder when the King will let us know why he called us up here for. I might need to go ask, despite the repercussions.  I would at least ask. I don't see any enemies up here at the moment around or looking down
