The tower is the largest section of the castle. It contains an observatory for nighttime scouting, but is also used by the wise men to study the stars. Armed guardsmen are always to be found keeping watch.

I am a wise man who lives in the east. I know a lot about ancient, esoteric skills and knowledge. I spend all day pouring over texts and mediating on what I've learned, when I'm not busy experimenting with alchemy or the arts. I'm very serious and focused on my studies.
They are alerting me to a great danger outside these walls. A danger of the weather or a danger of a battle? I believe a rival kingdom seeks to come for us. I must alert the King, but first can you draw any more information for me?  Will we have time to rally our troops and allies? The stars tell me the time for action is upon us. I think we have time. If the time is upon us, this is what we have trained to do.  I shall make the troops ready.  We will have to devise a plan to kill this rival king. But wait one second, soldier. The stars tell me this: We must utilize our archers well. They are the key. I will make it so.  Do the stars show you many future results?  Does it show our King still standing strong? It's murky. But our king can be potected, this I sense from the stars. Take care, soldier. I spend all day here and I am sure of our fates. I know that we can shape our future so I will never give up.  You have saved us just by being diligent to follow the stars.  I will have a soldier protecting you.  That's very thoughtful. But it's not me I'm concerned about. Our very kingdom rests upon one battle. Protect yourself with these spears. I must sound the alarm horn at once!  Peace be with you.
