A journey of discovery & sweet Matilda
Ol' Bakkus, he's an inquisitive fellow that's for sure. What better way to repair relations with the Tower folk then to go on a self guided tour of the Tower, for educational purposes only of course. Seeing new sights, networking and spending some quality time abroad.
What more could the Beloved of the Creator want?

The Hall of the Tower
This grand domed oval room has a ceiling at least thirty paces high. Its
walls of dark wood have been inlaid with the silver Flame of Tar Valon. The
floor has been delicately painted in the colors of all the Ajahs. A raised
platform, fronted by steps, runs around the outside of the room, containing
twenty-one chairs in clusters of three, each painted and cushioned to declare
the Ajah of its inhabitant. A high-backed chair, the Amyrlin Seat, rests at
the far wall on a dais, ornately carved in vines and leaves and painted in
the colors of all the Ajahs. A large rose window opposite the entrance
offers a view of Dragonmount, which looms as a constant reminder.

various treaties between nations. Each nation has its own section, some of
which are sparsely populated, such as the Borderland countries. The section
on the nations of Tarabon and Arad Doman, however, contains a plethora of
scrolls. Other bookcases in the room contain tomes on the subject of law.

The Twelfth Depository
This depository is home to a collection of works that appears to be partly
in scroll form. Some of the bookcases in this room are noticably different
than in the other depositories, consisting of diamond shaped recepticles,
each containing several rolls of paper. The scrolls are all copies of
various treaties between nations. Each nation has its own section, some of
which are sparsely populated, such as the Borderland countries. The section
on the nations of Tarabon and Arad Doman, however, contains a plethora of
scrolls. Other bookcases in the room contain tomes on the subject of law.

Bakkus says 'Is she or is she not the finest gray palfrey you ever laid your droopy eyes on?'
Bakkus says 'She’s an absolute corker she is, never mind the fact she’s a stallion and all.... I call this one here Matilda.'
Bakkus says 'I know how you Brown Sisters love a little learning, so learn this.'
Bakkus says 'This here Matilda is a champion, she is.'
Bakkus says 'Holds the Tairen record for largest dump she does, oh and wait, I think she may be trying to break the record!'

Divina narrates 'It's much more fun than venturing into the Stone... for research purposes only too. I can assure you of that.'
Sleat narrates 'That's what she said.' (Sleat on FIRE! Well, not really)
Bakkus narrates 'Absolutely, however there are warnings around the stone, the Tower is an outright free for all if I do reckon myself, and I do reckon'
Maddy narrates 'Perhaps you could give us a tour of the Stone one day?'
Divina narrates 'Just saying that having experienced both, I find the Tower much more architecturally appealing.'
Vala narrates 'Yes a tour would be fun.'
Bakkus narrates 'Too right Divina Sedai, I spent some time with Danelle Sedai. She sure loves horses, not overly talkative though. You may want to arrange for some housekeeping though, Matilda here may have dumped a close to record load for Danelle's viewing pleasure. A sight to behold!'

Back at Tower Square…
A smartly dressed man has arrived from the east.
exam man
Dressed in a fine coat and looking very smart and fashionable, this man
walks around with an ornately crafted cane. He nods and bows his head as he
passes people and sometimes pauses for a chat. Judging from his appearance
and behavior, he could very well be a local inhabitant of Tar Valon itself.
A smartly dressed man is in excellent condition.
A smartly dressed man is healthy.
