A highly fortified tower, one of the tallest in the land, about 50 square feet wide and 300 meters in height. It is constructed with the finest Ethery Stone, which is grey with hints of black tar. Some cracks appear on the west side of the Tower after years of wear and tear.

princess
guard
I spend most of my day guarding various parts of the castle and surrounding land. I also assist the lord or lady in various manual labor when needed. I live in a barracks with a few dozen other guards.
Good morning princess! How are you today? Oh I am tired... I didn't sleep too well. I think there was a pea under my mattress. And you? Any day I wake up is a good day to me. Do you need assistance with anything today? Yes. I am feeling somewhat lonely and downtrodden today... it is not becoming of me to ask this, but may I have a hug? Tell any of the guards or townspeople and your head is on the line. I ask this only in complete secrecy. of course princess. I know the feeling you describe. sometimes all you need is to feel a touch  Thankyou. I appreciate your compassion and discretion. Many admire my life, but it can also be isolating. Everyone has their own struggles. Our barracks is very crowded. Sometimes I wish I could be alone with my thoughts Oh, I'm so sorry to hear the barracks are crowded... and here I am complaining about nothing... I really am a spoiled little princess... Oh princess, please don't cry. I meant no slight. I'm sure everyone thinks the grass is greener sometimes Thankyou... you have a kind heart. I appreciate a friendly ear. Is there anything I can do for you? Put in a good word to the kind to expand the barracks, perhaps? Oh princess, that would be amazing. Nothing fancy, maybe a small storage shed behind the barracks. A small place to escape the people, and smells, of living with that many people Of course. I shall do my best. Nothing a little hug and kiss from a daddy's girl can't do... it's not manipulative if it benefits the people, right?
