Castle Alfaya
Four narrow, square towers dwarf everything below them and are connected by strengthened, chunky walls made of light grey stone.
Simple windows are scattered here and there around the walls in seemingly perfect symmetry, along with overhanging crenelations for archers and artillery.
A vast gate with enormous steel doors and various artillery equipment guards the only entrance huddled by a moat, and it's the only way in, at least without taking down the castle walls.
A handful of waterfalls flow into various small rivers and provide the precious farm fields outside the castle with needed water. Well-kept gardens with fragrant flowers, gorgeous trees, and many bushes decorate the outside of the castle. Carts, boxes, tents, and various trade goods are stacked and packed outside the castle, ready to be sold. This castle has been improved and improved over the ages, clearly standing the test of time and its inhabitants intend on making sure it stays that way for ages to come.
On the ground floor are an entrance hall, a shelter, a chapel, and a double grand staircase. Below this floor is a basement that keeps a dungeon, royal mausoleum, and secret tunnel networks. The second floor is almost entirely dedicated to the great hall and ballroom. Hidden away from the public eye are the two royal kitchens as well as guestrooms. The third floor is reserved as private living quarters for the occupants. It has rarely ever been shown to the public outside of paintings.
