Description
Please keep in mind that this is non-canon its a referance for those in the chat s we know the vauge layout of the castle, and even though I was tempted to look up a floor plan for a castle I did not, so I don't know what all should be in a proper castle.B2: Vault, Somewhere there is a staircase to it, Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh I cant add anymore to this image, so use your imagination ;D
B1: The dungeons, With cells that are frankly, seldom used by the 101 (so far). Complete with a hidden entrance to the vaults (;D), Quarantine for items found that needed containment, and an .... 'interrogation' room.... for.... 'polite' 'interrogation'.
Storerooms for the Auditorium and extra pantry space.
F1: Contains mostly utility rooms such as meeting rooms and dinning for the resident knights.
Warrior rooms are a bit crowded due to the limited space int the castle and the amount of them over the casters. Thus the Warrior class knights tend to have bunk beds and sleep 4-8 to a room.
F2: Contains mostly housing
F3: Contains housing and defenses for archers to use in the event the castle walls are breached. The lord rooms are for when the lords of the land visit the castle. There are more rooms then there are current lords due to the age of the castle.
T1, T2, & T3: I don't know whats up here.... or what should be up here. I know the center tower top might have something special but I don't know for sure.
Made because some folks in the chat were talking about drawing up a map for the castle. I took the initiative and started immediately. hours later you get this. XD
The 101 universe belong to

Are all beds in the warrior's halls all with two stages ?

Mhm, its a relatively small castle and wasn't built to house this many proper knights. so bunk style beds are in all the warrior rooms. The bed in the caster halls will bunk up as well if there is enough casters.

I'm picturing the clerics and casters each getting two connected rooms, a bedroom and a personal workspace/sitting room.
Side note, the Great/Knight's Hall would need to have more seating than that, in theory it should probably hold all the 101 (and second contingent) for a formal banquet if necessary.
Looks neat, though. Maybe a few too many rooms for captains, given we're hard capped at six, but that's a minor thing.
Another thing, I was thinking the halls be segregated by sex, particularly the caster and cleric halls. Given Kafka's the only male cleric, he'd probably be in with the male casters. Each hall would likely have a communal bath chamber.
Just my thoughts on castle layout, I actually started detailing Ammy's room layout yesterday as well.

Also, aside from that big block of text, nice job putting this together!

Was giving some thoughts to Jesiax's lodgings upon looking at this castle layout. Given her introverted nature to begin with and her unique backstory I was thinking she'd probably not be comfortable bunking with so many others in the same room. Initially I'd thought of suggesting that she has more taken out of her stipend for more private lodgings, but then I thought of a couple alternatives.
One ties to one of the comments made around the time of the initial posting of people's knights), where Heart had suggested: "And the Valkyrie in Bard Garb automatically screamed like.. Captain of the Valkyrie segment and they could be a sisterhood." (As seen here: heartgear.deviantart.com/art/T… ).
So that said, I'm thinking that Jesiax could be in the smallest of the Captain rooms (granted, in main chat I've not portrayed her as a 'Captain' in her own right, but being put into leadership of the Valkyries is still in her backstory). Given my portrsyal of her, I view her as kind of a sub-captain...not one of the main ones but stepping up into the leadership role if/when needed, but otherwise perfectly content to be 'just one of the knights.'
That said, I could also see maybe one of those rooms being dedicated lodgings for those Knights that might have a similar history as Jesiax (gender transformation/issues) that way those with a similar history are together to better deal with their respective histories. Or combine the two thoughts and have Jesiax convert/separate part of her Captain's lodgings to include bunks for those with gender-related backstories if they'd prefer lodgings other than the main ones.
Apologies again for the massive block of text, lol. XD

Sure, I can see her a room near Rowans, Though I can also Turn that other large unknown room into (formally a trophy room from the thief guild lord who owned it before?) into some makeshift bunks for those of an alternate disposition to form. Also some may bunk with the casters and Clerics.

Could do both, probably. Re: the other large unknown room being made into makeshift bunks, could probably conceivably split it to multiple rooms, one for the makeshift bunks in question and the others still for some still undetermined use, as the size of it as it stands seems like it would make for an exceptionally large barracks for those with 'alternate dispositions to form' (nice phrasing, btw, much less limiting than mine was).
