Me and the remaining members of my group walk through the village on our way to mara's castle. I say castle because it's definitely bigger than a mansion and more fortified, it didn't have the stone towers or walls like what a normal castle would have but just looking at the smooth marble pillars that make up the entry way and the surrounding marble walls that cover a wide area that creates a courtyard that resembles more of a barracks than what a castle courtyard is supposed to look like. There were men and women of a few different species training together.
Humans, Beastfolk, Lizardfolk, all kinds were here training together without hatred and I was really impressed. That was until I saw a group of heavily armed guards with Dark armor that had gold inlayed along the edges. Their helmets had that Roman broom looking style but each one was oozing an aura of confidence that only comes with years and years of harsh training and dedication to becoming the strongest.
