Opening the large stonework doors at the top of the grand staircase reveals the prized artifacts stored within the top floor of the palace. Inside are trinkets and baubles from far off lands, souvenirs from expeditions traversing across the entire realm. Large animal hides, beautiful tapestries, intricate statues of mythical animals, and other treasures hang upon thick oaken scaffolds. A thick coat of dust covers much of the treasure, suggesting a long absence of human contact or disruption.

I guard the castle.  I guard the king.  I would kill to protect the royal family.
Who goes there? Ha, who goes there indeed. I'm so happy you finally are showing me around the palace, even if you had to sneak me in like some sort of spy Keep it down, m'lady! You know how much trouble I'll get into if anyone knows you are here? Oh yes, of course! So what are those statues there? These are former inhabitants of these lands. See here? The unicorn, a mythical one horned horse! I remember Mum would tell us stories about unicorns when I was a lass... What's that one with the scary claws? Oh, this. They call him the Scattergath. He terrorized our ancestors until he was slain by Lord Vort. How terrible! This is all so very exciting. Everything here is so fancy It is right? Wanna see the King's private chambers? Oh! Could we? Yes, he is out with his riding party on the hunt. But you must be quite, okay? What will happen if we get caught?
