Your own guard tower

Post by Swanwhite » Tue May 03, 2016 12:15 am

If you had your own guard tower set up somewhere like Tirian's, what would it be like and what supplies would you keep there?

Probably food and weapons. And maybe some blankets and stuff. A history of Narnia so I wouldn't ever forget what had happened and could remind Narnians.

Definitely food, weapons, and other essentials. A well inside the tower, I think, would also be good, in the event one can't leave to fetch water. Books (including blank ones for record-keeping) and maybe an instrument or two, to help pass the time, should that be a luxury.

Food for sure. And Ariel's idea of a well was brilliant, so I'll take one. I'll also include armour and weapons, and extra clothes, boots, and blankets. And definitely books for times of peace when guarding would otherwise be a rather dull chore.
I would probably design it with three levels: a storeroom and armoury on the lowest level, bunks and a table and chairs (in other words the living space) on the second, and a very open room with more windows than walls on the top. In this top room I'd also keep supplies for some sort of signal light and probably a horn for calling for help.

Well, the main thing would be that I'd want to make my guard tower convenient for other Narnians, so I'd probably have bunks of different sizes and maybe some wooden boxes up off the floor for the squirrels, perches for the birds, and maybe a semi-stable on the lowest level so the centaurs, horses, unicorns, and donkeys wouldn't be stuck outside. After making it accessible to all those Narnians, though, I think the only room I'd have left would be for short food rations and a few weapons.
I don't think Tirian's tower was that large, more of a place where you could retreat and the enemies couldn't just walk in when you're trying to rest.
It would also be good if there were some bandages and medical supplies.
