Set in the year 943, the story unfolds in the Castle of Bayeux, Normandy, characterized by its grand yet somber hall. The architecture features thick stone walls, small windows, and an arched roof supported by sturdy columns, creating a crypt-like atmosphere. Despite the presence of fires at each end, the lack of chimneys allows smoke to linger, enhancing the hall's dark ambiance. This vivid setting captures the historical essence of the time, immersing readers in a world where the elements of nature interact with the castle's architecture.
