The main gates of Old Ebonheart comprising of two pairs of towers. Being the only land entrance to the town, this interior acts as checkpoint for trade caravans and diplomatic/military envoys who'd enter there. Should include a small Census and Excise desk for checking and recording the visitors (preferably in the larger western tower since it's accessible from the ground) as well as quarters for the guards stationed with the gatekeeping duty. The Census and Excise check-in area is accessible to civilians whereas the military quarters obviously aren't.

Also, an activator crank with which the gates can be lowered would be fun (scripting not necessary, can be applied later). Consider also the possibility that the military off-limits areas could have an access to the city's sewer system for sneaky gameplay purposes.

See the Local Map.

Claiming! I will pretty much include everything above, including the crank and the CE office. I was thinking that the off-limits guards' quarter could be fairly large, with room for a small armory, dining area, and bedrooms for off-duty soldiers. I will also include a secret door to the sewers. Should I also include a guard captain's quarters in one of the towers? (Preferably east)

[Rats]

Grant!

Sounds like a solid plan. Not quite sure if the numero uno captain of the townsguard would be stationed here (imagined that he/she could be found somewhere in the Castle itself), but certainly some sort of Gatekeeper Officer could make his home here.

Hidden doors are awesome.

[RyanS]

Update! The western tower is finished. I still have to complete the other cells.

[Rats]

Great work so far! The 'toll booth'-style CE office is ingenious. Can't wait to see the rest of the interior.

[RyanS]

Thanks Rats!

And also...Update! The secret sewer entrance, as well as the gate crank have been created. I'm not so sure about how the secret door was made, so opinions would help!

[RyanS]

New smallish update. I improved the sewer entrance and detailed the eastern tower a bit. There is still much to be done.

[Rats]

Looking great, keep up the good work!

The hidden door + the sewer entrance looks fine IMO.

[RyanS]

Update! Finished with the two big towers, now just the small ones remain!

[RyanS]

After a few months of work, I am finally proud to call this one finished!

The west tower includes a C&E booth with a small record library and storage. The eastern tower includes the gate crank, along with the guard/gatekeeper quarters. The two small towers include various storage, and a training room includes an office that leads to the secret sewer entrance.

Comments :
Not sure about TR_w_glass_tanto but I left it there.
Not sure how strict we are, there are some de goblets and cloths. I replaced goblets and left cloths for final reviwer.

Really nice interior, I totally understand why you made it bigger

Rating 8 out 10

I'm gonna do some more work on this claim to fix some issues brought up recently. Nothing too major will be done - just some fixing and replacing. I'm using Bero's file.

The key on the shelf in the Entry will drive some people crazy. (Love it)
The architecture of the training area and the water fountains was very good.


Rating 9 out of 10

There is a secret passage to the sewers, in the training area.

Edit: Please use file at bottom of the claim. Just got new privileges, and hoped that I'd have a new button show up to put my file at the top - but alas no.
