Although it cannot measure against roman castles of rock and stone, it is still stronger than most defenses in Logres. Vortigern spent a lot of silver to build the tower, and it is said that he has large treasuries kept within. It is traditionally held by the Sheriff of Gentian and Salisbury, who uses is to hold court and hold a garrison of royal troops.
