Castles can be a Maze, Find out Where to Go

There were two walls, one around the outer bailey, the other around the inner bailey and keep. Separating the first wall and bailey there was a drawbridge that let people in and out. The walls had walkways on the top and battlements to protect from invaders. Inside the outer bailey there were servant huts, recourse, trees, wells, ponds, blacksmiths, carpenters, and tailors. All these were used the keep the castle and its land thriving. I guess you could say it’s a smaller town.
In the inner bailey (behind the second wall) was the keep, or main castle. In the keep, the king/lord lived along with other people like a troubadour that was a person who walked around singing and playing music. There toilet was funny, just a hole in the wall, hope you weren’t walking around outside that part of the castle when somebody had to go to the bathroom. There was also a church in the castle.
