292 - Inside the Castle

In the midst of all this splendor, the main gate stood out. It was a huge arch with solid wooden doors inlaid with carved metal details and stained glass panels bearing the symbol of the ancient kingdom. Above the gate, a balcony with wrought-iron railings offered a panoramic view of the surroundings, while Alterhein flags fluttered in the breeze.

Crossing the threshold of the gigantic castle in the center of Phthonia, Ryan was taken aback by the number of employees. The number of maids was triple what he had seen in Berohog and the Silvermoons. 

As soon as they reached the main hall, four women in paladin armor knelt at the door. Two of them carried spears, while two others had huge axes slung across their backs.
