To your north are a set of double doors, there are a pair of guards
stationed beside them keeping a sharp eye on those that enter the northern
portion of the hall.  You can see another set of doors which are also
guarded to your east.  Since the throne rooms are to the north you can
understand the need for guards stationed to watch over those that go near
them.  
A castle guard tries to keep alert during his long shift.
A kender vagrant verbally abuses those who pass by.
