Station: [8] The slater

“Slaters constantly work on the edge. A head for heights is a definite requirement for roofing at heights like these. They are always in danger of falling, a risk they are adequately compensated for; only masons earn a similar amount on this particular construction site.

Like any homeowner Rutger von der Horst will only be satisfied with the best material for his roof, which is why he chooses slate. This black stone is particularly waterproof and durable. Rutger can be sure even his grandchildren will be dry and safe in his castle.”
