==Castellan of the Iron Keep - Pain 4== The Castellan is responsible for the Keeping of the Iron Keep itself, its running, its defense, its upkeep, and the needs of its Lord and its Guests. The Castellan himself appears as a stocky man in a smart black uniform of military cut, practical and severe. His face is swarthy and dark. So is his other face. And the third one too. Each face is strong and severe and set side by side in a triangle around his head. He has no beards, nor hair, nor ears, though he seems able to hear just fine. He controls access to the rooms and corridors of the Iron Keep absolutely. Unlike many of the Nighmares that the One Eyed Jack surrounds himself with, the Castellan speaks just fine. Deferentially to his betters and special Guests. Barked orders to most others. ====The Doorkeepers - Pain 3 (5 when encountered in Pairs)==== The Doorkeepers of the Iron Keep always appear in pairs (Pain 5) and if defeated will vanish in pairs. Guests of the Keep will typically see only two Doorkeepers at any given time, standing one on each side of the nearest door, weaponless, their brown skin covered only by a crimson sarong, no shoes on their feet. Observers will perceive each Doorkeeper's face as identical to their own but with eyes as black and empty as the promise of death. Doorkeepers never move away from their doors. They do not traverse hallways or move into the rooms they guard. They can, however, use any doorway as a portal to any other doorway within the Iron Keep. Only when attacked by a Guest or summoned by the Castellan do they move into a room or hallway to fight. [It is in these instances that their Pain rating might be calculated at the individual level (Pain 3) or individually folded into the Castellan's rating]. Otherwise, their only function seems to be to stand aflank their particular doorway or in front of it, granting or barring entry. Doorkeepers never speak. ====The Willow Women - Pain 1 (6 during a Forced Gaze)==== The Willow Women answer to the Castellan during the Twelve Hours of the Watch. They are the maids, cooks, and servants of the Iron Keep. But they serve the Slain God during the Thirteenth Hour. Lithe and flexible and tall, the Willow Women are fair skinned with extremely long limbs and hands and feet and toes and fingers and their hair drops down all about them in a curtain of fine pale braids, like the hanging branches of the willow tree, hiding their faces and most of their form. The Willow Women will not willingly move aside their braids and look directly on a Guest of the Iron Keep or a Supplicant of the Grove and tend to keep their heads down and their faces hidden, but if someone were to part those pale braids, stark black eyes with no color or whites would stare back. Anyone caught in that naked gaze faces Pain 6 in a confrontation that cannot be avoided. In this special encounter all 6s rolled for Pain count towards Madness instead when determining dominance. Not only do the Willow Women never speak, they have no mouths to do so.
