The cross bow is designed for two men to load and one man to aim and fire, they call it The Bey man. Bey man has three diferent types of bolts. It can shoot two feet bolts, wich are pretty standard, strong shafts with barbed ends, capable of easily smashing the keel of enemie boats. The second is a two component one, first you shoot a bolt with an oil filled bladder made to burst on impact, the oil will soak wherever you fired, then you shoot it with a flaming bolt (there is a newer version, which is more dangerous, it is where you shoot a flaming bolt with an oil bladder on it, they haven't been able to test it yet). The third and final, is a bolt with the head cut off. Instead there is a jar filled with projectiles, this is designed to disable the men without damaging the ship to much.
Floors two and one are dedicated to the functions of barge & portcullis. With guards to check credentials, and engineers to operate and repair the equipment. The wall is twenty feet thick, with a ten foot hallow interior, this is how the guards move around from tower to tower. The smaller towers are thirty-feet in circumference, and there lay out is the same as the big ones, except you can only enter from inside the wall. The other diference is that on top is a wooden platform with wooden walls going around it, and a pointed shingled roof. These towers roofs only have the ability of holding archers.
The city wall has a small moat around it, and each gate has a station on the outside for guards to check credentials. The castle has a court yard, barracks for guards, stables, and a blacksmith. And of course the castle itself, the front of the building points south (out to sea) it is three stories high, the bottom is rectangle, & floors 2-3 are square. there are four towers on each corner, and a fifth tower in the middle, all five towers are ten stories high. Looking at the front of the castle, to the left is the stables and barracks, and on the right is the blacksmith. All the castle walls and outer walls are made of dark, opaque, jade collored bricks. There are also guilds in the city. Four diferent head quarters. The Black Knights Guild, Blood Mans Armorer's, The Golden Swan Guild, & and Three Way axes.
