Special Notes:

I. How to open the gates
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The gates (or "Portculis") have hidden control levers (out of plain sight from potential invaders, but in secure areas for castle guards). The main gates control lever is located at the very top floor of the Main Tower. The adjacent building we deem the "Stronghold" has it's portcullis control lever on the terrace at its 3rd floor.

There are a few gates that are not functional (inbetween the townhouse and gatehouse, and at the docks. These are mainly for aesthetic appeal, to save on sim lag (using fewest scripts possible), and mainly to ask it's visitors to use the main gate as entry point.

II. Hidden doors
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are a few hidden doors to discover. One is at the base of the Main Tower ("Keep") building. A second secret door is on the 3rd floor of the Keep that leads to the top of the main gate. And the third is located at the top of the spiral staircase inside the Stronghold building (small castle building next to the Main Tower) which leads to the roof.

III. Tower Clock
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Main Tower features a tower clock. It is simple to use. On rez it will be running. However if you click it, you have several options.

On click:
1. "HT on" button allows you to see the time with hover text.
2. ""DST on" button allows you to choose daylight savings time or not.
3. Lastly, the left and right arrows will allow you to choose your timezone, should you like to preset the time according to your local time.

IV. Modular builds
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Many of the items are all modular, so at your leisure, you can use or not use these items to save on prim usage.
