Just inside the palace there is a lengthy hallway leading from the castle front.  The space is adorned with giant tapestries on the wall depicting scenes of knights performing heroic deeds.  One the floor is long plush runner carpet in a deep red color and adorned with gold trim.
Castle front, Inside Palace
although the temple is full, no one is speaking and all you can hear are muted scuffling feet.
mysterious merchant
I am the mysterious merchant of the village. I sell rarities from around the world that can not be purchased anywhere else. I am very wealthy and I liver in a large manor near the castle.
Another one for the collection I don't think you're supposed to take those, buddy. Oh hey, i didn't think anyone was paying attention... Eh, don't worry about it. Nobody really notices me. It's kinda hard to tell what I even am. Here man, what do they call you anyway? "Although the temple is full, no one is speaking and all you can hear are muted scuffling feet" Talk about an identity crisis! Longest name I've ever heard to be honest. Kind of odd too.. Yeah, it is. Signing my name is a real chore. Does it have a special meaning or something? I bet you use a whore jar of ink when signing documents. Not that I know of. I think my parents were just drunk. Well they must have been pretty important if you I don't know if I'd call them important. Their neglect and general incompetence led me here.
