Ēji Whet-æ̈lf is buildings folow an organic layout of spacious baked earthen streets whihch gives the metropolis a shape simmilar to a tree, if one views its streets from above. The valley metropolis 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.

Its likly the local malishia or garrison are tasked with routine mantance of the metropolis's defences.
