The Wall
Defences
The Wall is a massive ring-shaped fortress surrounding the Old Capital wasteland. There is a wall on each side of the ring. Both walls are crenellated and have machicolations. There are four gatehouses, one in each cardinal direction. There are magical traps in the gatehouses which are activated in the event of a siege.
There are towers along the walls, each with catapults on top. Additionally, there are platforms jutting forward from the walls, each holding a ballista. Some of the ammunition for these catapults and ballistae is magical or alchemical. Sections of The Wall are separated by small walls, shorter than the exterior walls and too thin to have battlements. Each of these small walls has a portcullis.
Many of the buildings in The Wall double as fortifications, even those without a regular militaristic function.

The people of The Wall produce most of their own food, alchemical products, and clothing as well as all of their own weapons and armor. Their farms are located within the walls.

The roads in and around The Wall are well-maintained.
