The walls and are made of marble and trimmed in gold.  So too are the winding stairs that lead up to the observation deck.  Ivy lines the outside of the walls and sprawls all the way up the side to just near the top of the tower.  The tower itself is intimidating for those who dare to approach.  The tower stands tall so as to see out way across the beautiful land it watches over.

I am a castle guard for the king. I man the ramparts and often engage in military training. I am prepared to defend the king at all costs.
Greetings Citizen! What news have you? For a small fee, I will share all of the latest news with you! A fee?! You would charge the Duke's Patrol?  I have to make a living somehow!    Cheeky, aren't you? Besides, how can we tell if the news you tell is true? My sources are very trustworthy. This news is very interesting and could potentially save lives.  State your sources and then we shall see. I have seen miraculous things with my own eyes. My sources are the doctors from the kingdom in the east. The only "doctors" from the East are Voodoo Practitioners and Witch Doctors. Your story is not convincing. I can provide proof after, you pay a small fee.   This had better be worth the build up, lest you be branded as a travelling con-artist. This is as trues as those walls are made of marble. There is a healing elixir that will cure any ailment. I watched a paralized young girl walk after drinking it. I watched a blind man regain his sight.
