Kitchen This is a huge room, well ventilated, set with heavy-duty stone counters and wooden cabinets. At the center is a huge old-style oven, usually with a fire crackling in it and a pot or two hanging inside.

Dining Room There is something odd about a ragtag team of survivors using this grand room, which invokes images of glittering nobles dining on delicate morsels. And yet here they gather for every meal.

Library This room used to be smaller but necessity dictated that the walls be knocked down and the library expanded. It is beautiful with wall paneling and antique rugs but its real value lies in the books carefully organized and tended to. The collection is always being added to, whether by a children's book found in the rubble of the marketplace or an exposition on gardening picked up from a wreck of a private home. No knowledge can be wasted. Not when so much has been lost.

Hallways After the clean-up, the remaining old paintings were hung back up on the walls, carefully coordinated with candle sconces that provide the only night-light.

Garden The garden used to be a glorious thing, bursting with flowers and well laid out. Now it is glorious in a different way. One side is richly planted with herbs and spices and vegetables that are needed in more limited quantity. The other hosts medicinal herbs of every variety that could be found.

The Well The main source of water, this well is linked to a sturdy underground system and is watched and maintained carefully. It sits squarely between the two sides of the garden.

The Tower It rises to the sky above the strong walls, making it a perfect lookout for dangers.

Quarters Some of these are single rooms, furnished with only a bed and the basics. Some of these are larger suites, shared with roommates or those lucky enough to keep their families or find new families.

Bathrooms These are nothing special. Jury rigged pipes bring water from the well for the large earthen tubs and small basins for hand-washing. Toilets are also rigged carefully with pipes that lead to a very very modified sewer system. There are no showers but there are drains for pouring out dirtied water. The rooms are dark, reddish stone, with large-cut windows covered by stretches of heavy cotton.

Clinic The expanded suite complete with patient beds is as well stocked as it can be. Valentina has dried and stored all the medicinal herbs in the locked cabinets. Henry, a former volunteer EMT, has scavenged a few of the simpler tools of his trade, blood pressure measuring machines, thermometers, and the like. There is always someone here but don't waste any time with hallow complaints.

Weaving Room This is the most warded room in the Castillo. Here everyone from former pagans turned mages to complete newbies can practice on their own or join the regularly scheduled lessons.

Training Field Set beside the Garden, this area has been roped off and is used exclusively for martial training. Some learn the blades to join the Castillo defense, some simply want to pick up enough to defend themselves when under attack. There are regularly scheduled lessons for all kinds of martial forms and between everyone is free to use the space for practice.

Craft Hall This part of the Castillo takes up several huge suites. One is well ventilated and the wall has been modified to suit it for the Smithy. In the other suites, other tasks take place, leather working, herb management, even old fashioned paper making.

Barcelona The apocalypse left the city a wreck. No one lives here anymore and the castle's residents only wander down to search the ruins for useful things.

Farm This large area was cleaned up and converted for harvest and keeping animals. It is defensible in a very limited sense so the castle denizens keep a close watch on it.

Harbor Once the docks and the water teemed with people and boats. Now what boats were still viable have been drafted into some approximation of a Navy for the castle folk.

Library It is not the most stocked and high-tech place in the world but it suits its purpose well. The walls are lined with books new and old fiction and non. Random assortments from what the Loki have gathered.

Bedrooms The entire east wing of the hollow is reserved for the dorms. You may share with one other person eventually but for now everyone has their own room. And yes, upon request you can bunk with someone regardless of gender so long as both occupants agree to it.

Diaries & Journals The destruction of the world as we know it brought to some the desire to record everything possible. Maybe as a memory for the future. Or simply as proof that we existed.
