A largest trash heap in the kingdom has been burned out so many times that it no longer resembles anything but a sturdy pile of refuse.  It stands 11 feet tall and 35 feet across and front to back sloping gently on all sides to the ground.  The only recognizable objects in the pile are the fresh items that have been thrown upon the stack, which are, a wooden chair with one leg broken, a crossbow with no string, and a rag doll with the head detached.
Trash Heap, Wasteland

I am a king's guard in the royal palace. I am fighting against the army trying to overthrow the king. I am a guard who has pledge my life to defend the king.
Are you for or against the king? For, very much for the King. I've lost my business and my livelihood, but it was the wicked witch that did it, not the King! Well then, you won't have any trouble from me. Are you living here in this trash heap now? Sadly, yes. See this rag doll? It's about all I have. I pretend it's a friend. It gets very lonesome here. I'm so sorry. Are there others living here? No, it is just me. And don't feel sorry for me, it's not all bad. Sometimes I have rats to keep me company, and all the scraps from the feasts at the castle come here, so I don't go hungry. Well I will make sure to let the king know about your situation.  Please, do. Remind me I used to have a powerful business. I sold him the wedding ring for the Queen, if you remember. We might be able to use your services in the palace. You should come with me to request an audience with the king.  I will, indeed! Do you think he will be able to find work for me? I can only hope so. Come along. We will go at once.  Thank you, guard, for your help. The others were wrong about you. You really do care for citizens.
