The city's buildings feature waddle and daub construction with good timber frames and a stone foundation protected by thatched or shingled rooves. Most buildings with second floors are built in such a way as to overhang into the streets on the upper floors for more space, as building size seems to be the primary indicator of wealth within the community.

The city rests behind a thin stone wall. The wall's design was likly directly copied from a castle's parmiter defences.

One can't help but wonder what brought the need for those repairs to the city.
