A Cloud Kingdom Classic Riddle

From Indy 2011 Riddle Book

Perhaps it's raised above the castle,

Unseen by friend and foe alike.

Yet still it's there apparent,

Warning of a pending strike.

In truth it might bide at your side

As you sleep the night away

In falsity though, it causes fear,

And leads but to dismay.

(answer is one word)

Take my guess exactly as typed

I'm not sure of the spelling
