Keeps look like ghostly, looming silhouettes at night with bronze or copper sheetings on their roofs, and have a defensive wall with normal armed guards around them, but this is often more artistic than actual fortification.{{book ref|mb1|5}} Prominent in especially the ballrooms are intricate stained-glass windows, often showing mythology dedicated to the Lord Ruler and the Deepness plus a [[Ruin's Perpendicularity|dark lake]], portraits of famous noblemen, or depictions of exotic animals and distant landscapes. Each of these was an extravagant, detailed marvel of resplendent color, sparkling light across the floor.{{book ref|mb1|28}}

"Each of these was an extravagant, detailed marvel of resplendent color. Exotic animals pranced, distant landscapes enticed, and portraits of famous noblemen sat proudly." Also pictures dedicated to the Lord Ruler's Ascension, such as the Deepness, a dark lake and ''green'' hills.{{book ref|mb1|28}} <br>
There’s an unused drainage ditch that passes right under Keep Lekal’s defensive wall.{{book ref|mb1|29}}
