The Lords Tower
The Lords Tower is a tall and prominent tower located within the Canyndor Castle complex within the city of Canyndor. It is also one of the oldest components of the castle, its foundations said to have their origins in the days of the old Caenen kings who first began building stone defensive structures on the crag that now hosts the castle.
The Tower has long been the subject of myths and folklore by the locals, as the tower's functions have long been unknown to the general populace. The Lords Tower is generally disused as a wing of the castle but has long been associated with a secret means of calling banners during a siege, people believing that a man called "the Lords Archer" is perpetually stationed in the tower, his identity unknown, who will shoot an arrow unparalleled distances in order to relay messages. Though this myth requires a tad of suspension of disbelief, the Grand Dukes of Canyndor have long refused to divulge the contents of the tower or its use, even to those close to them, only fuelling the myths and hearsay.
