A tunnel within the cliffs Storm's End sits atop, leads to a tunnel under the keep large enough for ships to take port within. Because the path is lined with rocks, it can only be traversed at high tide, though even then jagged outcroppings make it a difficult passage for all but the most talented sailor. Even this cavern is well protected, as fingers of rock form natural battlements, and torches can be set to allow defenders to see while blinding potential attackers. Murder holes line the roof of the cavern, and a mighty portcullis can cut the cave dock off from the sea. The portcullis slides to the bottom of the seaway and has bars tight enough only water can pass through it.
Hope you all are well and happy.
