The fifty foot high wall surrounding Caemlyn is broken by two huge metal
doors. This is the great northern gate of Caemlyn, city of the Queen of Andor.
The gate looks like it could withstand the battering of an army indefinitely.
To the east and west, buildings cluster along the great wall, the upper stories
of inns towering above the tile roofs of houses, and squat warehouses. The road
itself continues south into inner Caemlyn, or north along the great road
through outer Caemlyn.
