The city's buildings feature delicute timber framework hidden behind layer upon layer of finly ground plaster bleached to an almost glossy white sheen, with green clay tiled roofs and decorative brass-leafed trim. Even the smallest, poorest looking structures appear to be expencive thanks to the extreem elegence of the organic shapes and paterns going into their lofty, spire-y, vagly gothic designs.

The city rests behind a set of well fortified walls, with gatehouses, watch towers, and battlments. Ēji Ngágä-sïwoffi's walls are, howeaver, fashioned from stone and timber. While unorthadox, the design looks to be functional to a reasonable degree. With luck, the untested design will remain untested for years to come.

Its likly the local malishia or garrison are tasked with ocasional mantance of the citys defences.
