A Peak Inside Pinnacle Castle
I hit a point in The Hidden Prince where I realized I need to work out the full layout and logistics for Pinnacle Castle. This took me longer than anticipated, but I'm very detail oriented. I'm not going to post the entire layout which includes 9 different levels plus some of the grounds buildings, but I wanted to show off some of my labors.
You can see a larger version of the 1st Floor layout for Pinnacle Castle on DeviantArt. This floor has most of the main public rooms and the kitchens. Further up are more specialized work rooms and living quarters. In a crisis, all the halls could be used to sleep additional refugees, but it's been an extremely long time since they've needed to make use of them in that way.
The furniture in the rooms is swapped out depending on the needs of guests and denizens, so I consider this a snapshot of how things are probably laid out during the novel Seventh Night. Poor Phillip is stuck in a windowless room when he first arrives. It's supposed to be temporary, since the castle has extra guests for the wedding, but you know how that went... (If you don't go get thee a copy.)
Also Chapter 3 of The Hidden Prince is now available for reading.
