It took a little while, but eventually Ancalagon found Shyrath at one side of the castle. She was going over some designs with the kobold team, who seemed only too eager to assist in building a new device that could be classed as experimental.

This is a grand construction, used to power magical effects which could near-constantly generate protective spells. For instance, being able to surround the castle in one large protection from arrows whenever we please, and perhaps even walls of force. Not to mention the benefits of surrounding the castle, except for the path for official visitors, with thorn bushes and buried sword blades."</strong>
