This side of Martyr's Walk is much more active than the other is. 
Perhaps the looming castle, the citizen's bastion of strength, is much more
comforting to have close by, allowing them to lay their fears to rest for a
time.  Standing this close to the castle, one can hear the clanking of metal
against metal quite frequently.  The presence of patrolmen and pages is much
more commonplace this close to the center of New Kolvir's activity.  
An off-duty guard takes a leisurely stroll, still alert for trouble.
A small child plays quietly with a yo-yo.
A sweaty page hurries to finish a chore for his Knight.
