Armoury

A squat building between the Training Yard and the Clothier's Tower. The castle’s own supply of weaponry and other outdoor equipment is stored here, presided over by Duran. However most of the ready-to-use weaponry is in poor condition and cannot seem to be improved upon, such that's it's unlikely any weapon from here will strike a one-hit blow, and many have been rendered little more than blunt force objects.
There are broadswords, longswords, daggers, battle-axes, pikes, and spears, but none of them will hold an edge. There are bows a-plenty, but guests must make or find their own arrows. While there are flails and morning-stars, their spikes are hopelessly blunt. War-hammers and maces remain largely unchanged. The only lances available are tourney lances, designed to break upon impact rather than spear an opponent.
There are also lead-weighted wooden training swords and a quintain available for any aspiring knights. The quintain is a rotating cross-beam on a post with a small wooden shield on one end and a sack of dirt at the other. The aim of the game is to strike the shield while dodging the sack.
In a small store-room at the west end of the armoury is equipment for non-martial sports including rope and pins for quoits, balls for lawn bowls and pins for skittles.
