Grand Crimson Tower
Tall and imposing, the Grand Crimson Tower is a prominent landmark in Seressima. Its name is fitting -- it is both red-hued and stately as it reaches skyward from Delago's Hill. The wall that surrounds it is made of the same red brick, and its gates have not once closed since they opened three centuries ago. They welcome any who enter and bar none who wish to leave. Honour and freedom go hand in hand to the Redhats, for an oath forced by fear is no true oath at all. It seems a shame the same level of thought does not go into their actions.Built of red mudstone, the Grand Crimson Tower is a columnar tower, cylindrical as it rises its ten stories from the ground. It claims one of the rolling hills in the Delago's Hill district of Aragonia's capital. Its walls are five metres wide, two stories hidden in their five metre height, and are decorated with ornate ironwork along the parapets. The Grand Crimson Tower is the headquarters of the Redhats, home and office to the organisation's leadership, and penitentiary for Redhats who have forsaken their vows and turned to a path of darkness.
Facilities
The Grand Crimson Tower has the capacity to provide shelter to five hundred Redhats at any given time. The Tower houses an expansive kitchen and spaces for entertaining dignitaries, including a ballroom. The Tower's four basement levels are used for storage and a dungeon of one hundred cells.About the Builder
The building itself predates the Redhats by some five decades. It was designed by an artist-architect whose name is recorded as "The Vermilion Bricklayer". The man behind the nomme de jour, Anito Valleras, became the first Grand Plume. Not a fighting man, he nonetheless was entranced by the Redhat's whimsy.
