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.

It's your watch, sire. I did my shift. Mind the ramparts in this rain, they are bloody slippery!
It's been very quiet these pass few weeks, I'm optimistic about our safety. That is good to here. I've been experimenting with alchemy these past weeks.  Have any fruitful results?  A few. It is still in the early stages of my research That is good to hear. What is your aim with alchemy? Well what is the hope of any alchemist? I one day hope to create the elusive philosopher's stone That  is just a myth. You surely can't expect to make it. Well you never know. It could just be a myth because no one has managed to create one There have been many alchemists before you and none have succeeded. What makes you different? More determined I guess. Plus all it takes is one lucky person to get it just right Have you made any progress? Not a whole lot but I've only just gotten started truly working towards it. It will take time I believe
