Tewich
Western citadel of Dolinde, The Twinned City set in the arid crags of the western The Basalt Peaks.
Purpose / Function
The western defense for the Kindred Pass set as an imposing reminder to the Shara Steppes. Home to Eltolinde and her Platinum Knights and the biggest resevoire of water this side of the Basalt Peaks.
Architecture
Heavily fortified, the western wall of Tewich faces the Shara Steppes. The entire city is encased in stone and insulated from the arid heat blown in across them. Fabric awnings hang over most of the main streets, strung with hardy ropes between buildings to grant some shade.
Alleys and smaller roads are sheltered by the buildings they pass between. Most buildings in Tewich are two stories, with the cooler first floor being used as sleeping quarters and the upper floors being used for cooking or working, some top stories are open aired to allow the wind to flow through them and cooling the space.
Eltolinde's citadel sits across from the western wall and is 4 stories tall, the top floor being open on 3 sides and overlooking the fortifications and giving her a clear view of the Shara Steppes. The walls of the citadel are thick enough to block most of the heat, and mages have developed cooling torches that line her halls giving off flickering, cooling light.
Defenses
The Crag Ward, the larger of the two Landsknechts companies have their barracks in Tewich.
