The guard station consists of a wooden building with a hay thatched roof.  Inside are some hay filled sleeping bags and a fireplace used to cook and generate heat during the colder months.  There's a small fire pit outside along with some wooden seats where guards huddle around and talk about the last gossip.

I am a guard at the royal castle.  I am brave and strong.  It is my duty to protect the king.
What are you doing here today, father? Hello guard. I am here to aid anyone in their time of need, through the good word.  Thank you, sir. I am just here on duty. Yes, I see. There are other sleeping bags here, near the fireplace. What are you all guarding? Guarding the temple from any trespassers, of course! Hmm, yes, that is good work. It looks like there are not many trespassers today, as your guards seem to idle about... We just do as the king says, regardless of the number of trespassers.  Ha! And the king tells you guards to gossip around the fire pit? Your pet dog seems more alert than some of your men here. I don't mean to be rude, father, but keep your lips shut about our work ethic unless you want to be forcefully removed! If you were speaking of something productive or charitable, I would not have comment. I hear those guards speaking of the dark arts... Well  your comment, regardless of relevance, is not wanted to be quite honest!  It is not my duty to tell men what they want to here. It is to tell them what is true. I do not like talk of the dark arts; it only leads to misfortune for others.
