Fortifications: The Wall
The wall bridges the sides of the valley. It stands twelve feet tall and six feet deep, with crenellations extending another four feet up. There are two sets of doors into the town: the main doors on the road, and the doors beneath the bridge where the walls go over the river. The doors to the town are always closed at night. The doors beneath the bridge are not, as they are very difficult to open against the water current.
The Guardhouses
The houses at the gates are always manned, though sometimes with sleeping guards. The Tutors use the guardhouses to house and train new members as well as the town militia. Townsfolk are generally proud to serve with the Tutors and proud to be part of the town’s militia, but it can sometimes be difficult to find townsfolk to reliably man the guardhouses at night in the depths of Biblyon’s cold winters.
Guard Towers
There are two guard towers at the top of the sides of the valley, one on each end of the wall. While the four towers at the gates are manned all the time, the town’s been getting a little lax about the two further towers. Unless there is a known or suspected danger, those towers are empty. They usually are manned at night nowadays, with the strange things going on. If there have been night troll sightings, they’ll be manned during the day as well. (The Tutors are well aware that night trolls can come out in the daytime without turning to stone.)
