City Walls

  The wall of the Free City is a uniform 30 feet high along it's entire length, except where the gates and gate houses interrupt it.  It is 18 feet wide at it's base, and made of solid granite fitted together in a tight pattern.  The platform along the top is 10 feet wide, with a parapet running along the inside and outside edges.

  Access to the wall can be gained from each gate house.  The wall top is patrolled regularly both where it borders the city and where it runs between city districts.  During daytime, the typical patrol is one watchman placed every 300 feet along the top of the wall.  At night the guard complement is quadrupled with 2 sentries standing every 150 feet along the wall.  Also at night, torches are maintained on the wall top by the Lamplighters Guild.  These torches are placed at 150 foot intervals, but staggered from the guards so that each sentry station is 75 feet from the nearest torch.
