King's quarters

The King's bedroom starts off as one of the biggest bedrooms one could ever have imagined. It is decorated lavishly with all the elegant trimmings one could ever want. There is a king sized bed, of course, as well as pillows and blankets that appear to be the highest quality available. The room has one window that faces the courtyard two stories below.

Sitting beside the window against the wall lies a beautiful, clean oak desk that comes stocked with its own ink, feather, and paper. There is a small bust of the King's head that lies on top of the desk. Twisting it a full 360 to the right will open a secret hidden door to the right of the desk. Twisting it to the left will send an arrow flying at the person with murderous intent.

On the opposite wall of the desk is a large painting of an archer with his large bow and arrow. He is pointing straight forward, or in this case at the viewers. If one got within a centimeter of the painting and reached out to touch the arrow in the bow they'd find that it was real and wasn’t really a harmless painting of one. The arrow is the one rigged to fire out if the bust's head is twisted the wrong way. It's positioned perfectly to line up with the desk.

Beside the bed lays a large cushion or in this case the bed for the King’s two German Shepherds which were gifts from a German diplomat. They follow the King where ever he goes and know an array of commands, vocal and hand.

The door into the room is heavy and reinforced and has a number of bolts and anything else to keep the door from moving. It'd take a full battering ram and enough man power to break through, and even that would take at the least ten minutes but by then the King would have escaped already.

Two of the King's closest friends guard the chamber room when the King sleeps. When he's up and about they follow him everywhere and another shift takes the watch at the chamber door.

Hidden passageway

The passageway leading from the King’s room leads into each room in the house as well as to an underground tunnel that leads underneath the water, around and up onto dry land. The entrance is a medium sized hole that lies behind some large boulders. Beside the hole and boulders is a large, old tree which has lost most of its branches. Because of this, the hole is covered up well with some of the branches and is impossible to ever find or spot.

Corridors

The corridors for the whole castle; Usually patrolled by guards constantly. Often times they'll lead you to the bedroom section of the castle; Section is an understatement, the real word for it would be the whole entire wing of the castle.

Dining room

The dining room is a huge room that has one of the longest tables one could ever sit at. The head of the table is reserved for the King, of course. Behind the head of the table is a fireplace that is usually burning around dinner time to heat up the room. The chairs and table were all elegantly carved by someone who had obvious taste and skill. The chairs, for being made out of wood, are actually rather comfortable and do have excellent back support. When one is as rich as the King, nothing is ever out of reach.

Candle holders line the walls parallel of the table for when dinner rolls around and light is needed to replace the sun. There are two large windows extending upward to the ceiling that let the view of the water flowing around the castle before heading to the falls be seen. It is also a perfect place to watch the sun set below the waterline.

Some of the best foods around are served on the table. Roast pig and duck, for example, are big hits with the diplomats. The best wine and drink are brought up for feasts or special occasion so be ready for a good time. The King however, rarely enjoys anything that would make him drunk.

War room - 1 Viewing

The war room is a big room with a long rectangle table. This is the place where the King and his knights plan anything that has to do with battles and war. Military tactics that win or lose the day often come from this room. Besides the table there is only one window that lets light for everyone inside. There is a fire place in here as well that has two swords and a shield covering them above the fireplace. They were mounted there when the castle was first built and haven’t moved since.

Armory

The armory is guarded by six guards; Two beside the door, and one in front as well as on the opposite wall are three guards. Inside is an array of every weapon imaginable as well as armor. While every person in the army is required to be in armor and have their weapon and shield on them, whether sheathed or drawn, for those who get caught in a situation without a weapon or armor may come here to pick out whatever they desire.

Swords, shields, bows, arrows, and anything else that can cut a person apart are found placed in an orderly fashion around the room.

Kitchen - 1 Viewing

The kitchen is large and is the main place for preparing food for the King and his guests, as well as the army that lies within the castle. The cooks themselves, which are all women, are actually apart of the army but no one other then the King knows that. Their weapons are hidden in various wall panels and underneath the flooring of the kitchen.

All sorts of foods are stored here as well as drinks. Anyone wanting a midnight snack would come here for some of the best food around the world that money can buy.

Courtyard

The courtyard could be argued as the best place to relax. It extends outward over the falls and gives one of the best views any one person can want. The roar of the water can entrance someone completely. There are a few trees here and there that offer shade to all who sit under them. This courtyard is often used as a stage for mock fights and practicing to hone a person’s sword fighting skills. Archers often practice their archery at placed targets or the trees. This is the one place that the King can breath a little and relax.

Spire

One of the three small spires the castle has. They extend upwards into the sky and have plenty of slits in the walls for archers to stick their bow through and fire at anything around the castle, especially the bridges. The winding staircase seems to go on forever and those who aren’t fit will find themselves out of breath rather quickly. At the very top there is a small open hutch that's big enough for a small group of people. This is also another place for archers to fire out the large openings. It also lets anyone get an excellent view of the area.

The Royal Graveyard

A few miles down the road, away from the castle rests a large, well kept graveyard. It's guarded by fencing that surrounds the whole perimeter of graveyard, and two knights that stand at the door all day and night to prevent any grave robbing. What makes this place to so special is that it is where all the great Kings, Queens, and their royal families are put to rest. Some of their finest belongings rest in their graves along with their bones. Only people of high ranks may enter this hallowed ground. And a pretty hefty fine is put down if you have no business being there, as well as possible death if you are caught grave robbing one of the royals graves.

ABOUT THIS BOARD

Board Description
Arlen Fortress
The Arlen Fortress was just an old ruin before King Terrowin stumbled upon it one day. He quickly ordered his men to set to work and eventually he had his very own castle. There's only two ways in and out and that's where each bridge reaches the castle. Its heavily fortified and guarded and anyone coming down the bridges would be easily spotted so think twice about coming with ill intentions.
