First five floors

ground: dedicated to the castle and its history

second: history of Crossroads Island Town; mostly about the markets and celebrations

third: important relics donated by important Crossroads Island families.

fourth: displays contemporary treasures from each island

fifth: Local treasures including pieces that once belonged to the royal family, before the Division divided the nation.

Meant to be temporary, became a highly lucrative tourist attraction

Draws as much interest over Spur Blacklake's Murder and subsequent haunting

seventh is dining and entertainment

tables around the outer wall to provide incredible views

Tourist Look-out

crenellated parapet

crenels set with observation glasses

merlons equipped as anchors for overhead canvas roofing

Architecture

Built out of the same pink Goldstone as the rest of the castle and walls. The merlons on it's crenellated parapet are 106 feet above the ground. Each floor features a high ceiling, with almost 18 feet of vertical space before meeting the supporting joists of the floor above.

Defenses

Doors, locks, and guards. Annnd a few surprises in case those don't work, such as an agromantic potion that stains the hands of thieves for later identification.
