Fortress Approach
Added 2025-09-01 01:43:48 +0000 UTCThe Cliff-Face Wall has been a stalwart point of defense for generations. It's tactical advantage is even apparent to the most untrained of eye, as just to approach the city gates one must scale an ever winding road making it's way up the cliff face, steep and treacherous.
Over the course of dozens of defensive actions, no one yet has managed to breach the gate. For even as an army would be required to travel said road under fire from the garrison on the fortifications, if they were to arrive at the gate, they would find themselves looking across the great rift, a splitting crack that spans the length of the mountain.
Only once has the city fallen, nearly a generation ago. A wise tactician understood the futility of an all out assualt, and chose to starve the city out. Surrounding the city from a safe distance, they set up supply lines to keep the encampment secure over the course of several months, while those within the walls suffered from starvation and disease. Only then, pushed by famine and the trapped nature of their situation, did the city surrender.
The city still remains one of the most defensible positions in the realm, and causes potential invaders a moment of doubt. For, what army can afford to spend months on a single strategic point? Sometimes it is easier to go around and accept that a powerful stronghold remains behind your lines.
