Nomed Zdrul Kez is buildings are arranged arround a single premissive cobblestone mainstreet with many smaller streets branching off of it which gives the town a over all rectangular shape, albit one warped and twisted by the nature of the curves of the main road. The town posesses a fortified albit thin wall of querried stone. This wall posesses most of the features of a castle wall, though it is constructed from cheeper inferior stone. It would pose a minor chalange for an attacking army, though it's clear the wall's true purpose is to crush the hopes of bandits and marauders.

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

Tall, stout walls, strong points inside the community, concentric defenses, a strategic terrain location, or a large body of standing troops might be present.

The community’s suzerain may be uncomfortable with these defenses, as they could just as easily be used to defy the ruler.
