extra credit 2 (30 points max)
Choose ONE (1) of the following options for Extra Credit:
A) Tumble in the Tavern - Taverns are often linked to several brawls or fights or unsavory events that occur during plots. Look up a book where a Tavern holds an important scene in the story. Tell me about it in your own words. 300 words minimum.
B) Tower Design - Sometimes the color, height, and architecture of a Wizard Tower conveys the personality of a particular wizard/witch. If you were to design a Wizard Tower for yourself (because let's assume you are a magic-user), what would it look like? Illustrate it for me and send me a link of your uploaded image.
C) Monarchic Mayhem - Below I have listed a short description of kings and queens in Fantasyland. From the descriptions, identify the monarchs and what story/series they came from. Each identification is worth 3 points.

- An evil monarch who is most noted for having brought the extinction of dragon riders. He frequently stays in his citadel, at the center of Uru'baen.
- This girl is magically obedient. She does become a future monarch, however, first by refusing the order of marriage, then willingly accepting her prince's hand after breaking her curse.
- A King of an enchanted forest who eventually finds himself married to a princess who has a strange relationship with dragons. He eventually needed his son to rescue him out of his own castle.
- An illegitimate son with rage problems. He gets bound to a ship figurehead after his royal family gets slaughtered, and is unbound by an Abhorsen who he eventually falls in love with.
- She gives up her magic in order to stay with the love of her life, the High King. Her noble standing can be traced all the way down the line of Llyr.
- This fiery red-head is best known for being a dragon slayer. While ostracized in a kingdom of brunettes, her position as the Sol gave her direct inheritance of her father's kingdom.
- This horrid king commands a powerful bull, and uses the creature as a means to capture a particular creature. His adopted son falls in love with a unicorn.
- While not considered a "king," this Commander has a long line of food tasters, all of whom were trained by his master assassin, Valek.
- This monarch is the first of his name and is usually referred to as the Usurper. It's only too bad that he was done in by a wild boar.
- This idealistic nobleman was considered a weak replacement for the previously deposed ruler. Fortunately for him, the love of his life is a pretty powerful Allomancer.
