The Grand Watchtower

Standing proudly in the heart of North's End Cross, dominating the skyline with its imposing structure, The Grand Watchtower can be seen for miles around. This architectural wonder serves as both a symbol of the town's chivalric tradition and of its architectural prowess.
Rising several stories above the town, The Grand Watchtower is constructed from sturdy stone and reinforced timber, designed to withstand the harshest weather conditions that the North Burn can unleash. The tower's walls are adorned with intricate carvings depicting heroic scenes from the history of the Order of the Silver Rose, celebrating the valour of its knights and the honour of its leaders.
At the tower's pinnacle, a massive beacon stands ready to be lit in times of imminent danger, sending a signal visible for miles around. This is more a symbol of defiance rather than a plea for help as the surrounding landscape is barren and empty for miles on end. The panoramic view from this vantage point allows the stationed guards to survey the entirety of the castle town and its surroundings easily.
The entrance to The Grand Watchtower is a grand arched gateway, guarded by two imposing statues of legendary knights wielding weapons that have become synonymous with North's End Cross's vigilant spirit.
The primary function of The Grand Watchtower is to serve as an early warning system against threats from the wilderness. Guards stationed within the tower keep a watchful eye on the horizon, utilizing telescopes and magical aids to detect any signs of approaching danger. The tower is equipped with a system of bells and signals to communicate with the other defences of the town.
The tower is usually open to the public, allowing citizens to ascend its heights and witness breath-taking views of the surrounding landscapes.
