Qudra/City Walls

The city walls of Qudra in north Zakhara were a prominent fortification and a marvel of engineering.

Description
The city walls were made from granite quarried from the Furrowed Mountains. They measured tall and a staggering  thick. The outer of the wall was solid stone, and a  wide tunnel behind that allowed for the movement of the mamluks. A trio of fortified gates, all facing the mountains, breached the wall. The wall curved to surround the harbor along the coast of the Great Sea and was dominated by towers at each end that monitored the waters. A great chain could be hoisted between the two towers to block the harbor from any naval attacks.

Defenses
Mamluks of the various mamluk organizations took turns patrolling the walls on a monthly basis. Large cauldrons of everburning oil were positioned at strategic points along the wall, ready to be dumped onto any unfortunate invaders at a moment's notice.

History
As of, the walls had never been breached.
