Boke Tsdiewàvdè is buildings have been located at convienant points along the rivers Boke Tsdiewàvdè was built upon. Navigating the town is therefore a little chalanging as the distance between buildings verris greatly and the restrictive paverstone streets flow where they are able to be made rather than folowing the most convienant paths. The city rests behind a thick wall made from clay bricks. The wall has all of the proper fortifications and is well made. Unfortuantly the nature of clay brick leaves it quite vulnerable to siege equipment, though the thickness of the wall lends it simmilar resistnace to a thinner hardrock wall. Unfortuantly, these millitarily questionable fortifications are in extreem disrepair, so much so that one cannot tell if they are decaying from a lack of mantance or damage incured.
