Like all farming communities, it is surrounded by a 40 or 50 foot wall, with one major gate. The walls are 10 feet wide with the outside dropping down 20-30 feet, before curving out an additional 20 feet. The ground on the inside of the wall are only 30 feet from the top. After entering the gate, the road turns sharply and up a ramp to a second gate. Some of the communities use magic to heat the houses, and cook their food. it can also be used for the ice house, and pump water. The further away from the cities the better odds of them using magic, without paying the magic guild.
