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.

castle guards
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.
Speak, traveler. Tell me why an outsider visits this tower!  I have some important information that the King will want to hear. You must request to speak with the King. You will need to tell me of what important information to relay to the King. We cannot let just anyone come in here!  I understand. I cannot give this information for free, but it is very important and urgent. Then you must make your case to me, Traveler. I am entrusted with protecting the King and his Kingdom from outside threats. If you have information that we need, you must tell me at once!  King Joffrey plans to attack your kingdom in three days time. Traveler, this is something that I have feared. I have heard rumors that this may happen. We must find the King and let him know of King Joffrey and his plans!  Of course, thank you. I have traveled from town to town, and King Joffrey has wiped out a few kingdoms, his next attack is here. I fear for my couriers.  The King sent out several to check on neighboring Kingdoms recently. None have returned. We must make haste!  Yes, need to hurry. I need some traveling money to go warn the kingdom just North of here. King Joffrey plans to attack there once he is finished here. Maybe the kingdom in the North can make it here it time to help you stop King Joffrey! I can send you with one of my most trusted Knights. He will offer protection to you on this journey!  Oh thank you. We will need horses to get there quickly.
