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!
Greetings guardsman. Ahoy, watchmen. Anything exciting happening in the kingdom? Nothing of merit fortunately, it is often quiet. That is good to hear. You of course are our first line of defense. I hope you don't fall asleep while on duty. Certainly not, I am awaiting my relief within the hour. Very good! I just started shift. You ever feel like the wise men are watching you too closely? I try not to pay them too much mind, the scholarly type are often different you might say. You might say that. I've just always wondered...who watches the watchmen? Well I suppose you all do, I mean there are always guards stationed. Fair enough. How long ye been wit the watch> Ah what has it been six years now I believe, yourself? I've beet wit da guard for 15 years! I'm overdue for a promotion.
