The city rests behind a set of well fortified walls, with gatehouses, watch towers, and battlments. Slæ̈rn Kïnf-zmexä'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. The unusual yet seemingly effective fortifications have not been wellmaintained over the years, and while functional are in dire need of some loving care and perhapse light renovation.
