Kraymun's Tower

Built by a Graben lord several generations ago when raiders were coming out of the hills. Rather than depending on the inn for fortifying defensive troops, Lord Kraymun built a tower on the edges of the then-village. That place has since grown to encompass the hill upon which the Tower stands.

Ser Brice Willum was recently given control of the tower, and he has begun to make changes to suit his needs. Brice was already a regular guest at the tower, so his more permanent presence has caused few ripples. Brice has established an herb garden on the tower grounds with Branna Meadows's help, and he has also acquired a bee colony to start a bee yard.

Tower

  • Kitchens & Cellar: X
  • Great Hall: Brice has little need for formality, so a single table usually suffices in the tower's great hall. Most nights, a few graycloaks join Brice for dinner and share the table with him. Wachstrom sailors are also common guests, along with Fat Duram and goodwife Janie. Sometimes they bring travelers they believe would be of interest to Brice or the Grabens.

When nobles join Brice for dinner, either a smaller high table is added to create the necessary divide, or the great hall is closed to smallfolk. Branna Meadows and Minisa Graben are the only regular such visitors, but Tarah Wachstrom has also made a few appearances, accompanied by Ser Lyonel Estermont.

The great hall is studiously adorned with House Graben regalia, but dried lavender from Sweet Heath, purple to match Graben colors, perfumes the air.

  • Solar: Few are allowed into the tower's solar. Brice spends most evenings alone here, attending his steward's duties in a makeshift office set up in one corner of the room, though the odd sailor may join him for after dinner drinks.

A set of jousting armor in House Willum colors stands in another corner of the room, and a wreath of weirwood woven around a golden horn that once belonged to Alwyn Wachstrom hangs above the hearth. Brice intends to acquire the late Lord Waltyr's overstuffed Myrish chair for the room as well.
