Drǟ Muk Kez is buildings have been located at convienant points along the lake Drǟ Muk Kez was built upon.

The town 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.
