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 ocasional mantance of the towns defences.

Points of Interest

While private tutelage of worthy apprentices can be had even in most remote villages, Vog Hev Ckez is home to a proper school dedicated to teaching magic. Such schools are usually small, with no more than a few dozen pupils, most of whom will fail for lack of talent or discipline. The instructors are rarely first-rate, usually serving only for the pay and status, but sometimes a genius sorcerer will find a reason to observe likely apprentices here. Given the unfortunate accident potential of the school, it’s probably isolated or well-fortified.

Vog Hev Ckez's roads were poorly made when first laid. Rather than repairing them correctly, a series of new roads was laid atop the old, leading to the streets of modern Vog Hev Ckez suffering from potholes, cracking, and even sinkholes. The locals often repair the road by putting down wooden decking.
