"These walls are huge!"
They are the biggest city walls I've seen in the travel from Amapytu. This is East Rising, the capital of Wesgoth.
It's kind of funny that the kingdom of West has a capital that is called East. Humans have some weird naming conventions no matter the world they live in, it seems.
"Of course they are. This is the capital of the kingdom."
Mom sounds very proud when she says that, but I can see the reason why.
The city lies atop a hill, rising gently from west to east and then ending abruptly in a steep cliff that faces the east.
We approached it from the north, so the cliff was visible for a couple of hours. It is tall enough to dwarf any human-made city walls.
But the northern road doesn't lead to the city directly. Instead, it leads to the western road, converging all roads into a single huge entrance to the city
Which isn't a good urbanistic decision at all. The traffic jam of people coming in and out of the city is nasty.
