A bell tower
Description
A tall, 8-story tower of carefully fitted, irregularly shaped marble blocks of various colors, polished to a smooth glassy sheen (the effect is of a multi-colored jigsaw puzzle). There is a small door opening onto The South Corridor and several windows on the first and second floors, then no break in the smooth wall until the belfry itself.
There are 8 bells in the Tower, each rung by a heavy rope that comes through a hole in the floor to the Ringer’s Chamber a floor below. Ringing the changes requires 8 ringers, as the bells are quite heavy. The bells are rung at sunup, noon, and sundown, signaling the opening and closing of the gates. A single bell rings the hour. The bells are also rung on special occasions, such as holidays.
There is a ninth bell in the tower, whose presence is unknown to all save Gavin Campanella, Ranna Campanella’s older son, the Keeper of the Tower, who lives on the lower floors. The bell is magical, although Gavin is not sure what it does. He knows it must be rung if the city is ever threatened. Gavin writes “adventure ballads” in his spare time (and he has a lot of spare time). Which are sometimes sung in the taverns. They are, however, totally fictional.
