Wolfe's team gathered around a whiteboard spell and prepared to lay out their plans.
"I'm thinking a pentagram patterned layout, so we can use the towers for spell focuses in an emergency. That will also make for a decent standard of coverage for the defenders along the wall if we should be attacked, while allowing mostly unrestricted views of the valley from the central keep." Wolfe suggested.
Nola nodded. "That's an important consideration. You need to be able to see the valley from the inside of the castle. But with cliffs all around, the walls don't have to be huge, so it won't be too hard to see over them.
Why don't we make the central spire a nice tall one, with a large top balcony, like the one in Forest Grove? That will give visitors a space to sit and watch the valley, and we can use it to get some fresh air if we put our rooms up there."
Cassie chuckled. "You're quite serious about your tower idea, aren't you?"
