You realise, however, that most of these things are too well known to be sold anywhere, without branding yourself as a thief, and condemning yourself to instant death at the hands of the Royal Guard. ~ 0 8|8192 0 D3 You see a large steel door. ~ door large steel~ 2 15207 15236 E painting paintings carving carvings sculptures tapestries~ It seems they are stored here temporarily to enable changing of the decoration in the Castle on a regular basis. ~ S #15238 The Guest Wing~ You have arrived at the part of the Castle where prominent guests are housed.

This book goes beyond most of what YOU know about magic anyway. But then, there are levels of magical knowledge, it seems. ~ S #15252 Up in the Tower~ After a long climb, you finally reach the top of the tower. This room is small, and the only light source is a flickering candle, on a cluttered table, in the middle of the room. The only obvious exit is back down the stairs. ~ 0 8 0 D5 The stairs go down the tower. ~ ~ 0 -1 15234 E table~ On the table are various objects, all very strange-looking. ~ E candle~ Small, uninteresting... A candle that is as normal as can be. ~ S #15253 The Top of the Tower~ You have arrived at the top of the tower. This tower is pretty uninteresting, and seems made purely for reasons of defence and guarding.

(To be filled in when I have YOUR part of the area..:-) ggg ) ~ S #15254 The Top of the Tower~ This is the highest of all the towers, and is obviously used for lookout purposes. The view is splendid in all four directions. All around you, the rich countryside spreads out to the horizon.

The only exit you can see is down again. ~ 0 8 0 D0 To the north, the tall White Mountains have their highest peaks. The mountaintops disappear in the white clouds, far above the plains.
