Giustenal City Walls

Wall

Would be adventures may decide that the walls of Giustenal offer a better entrance than the smoke shrouded southern gate. While this may be true, the 40-foot-tall barrier is not without dangers of its own. There are many places where a well-trained eye can detect subtle differences in coloration in the stone of the walls. This is where the builders under Dregoth's reign added new stone to either replace a ruined section or make the wall higher. Ironically, the newer sections are less sturdy than the older. A climber unlucky enough to encounter one of these patchwork areas may find the heavy stone tumbling down with him to the desert floor.

Giustenal City Gates

Giant roaring dragons of stone stand to either side of Giustenal's 30-foot-tall gates. Two gates still bar entry to the city, one on the south wall and one on the east wall. The walls themselves average about 50 feet high. A character with the stonemasonry proficiency can tell that the rock used to make the statues is far less weathered than the wall they have been built into. The statue on the left side of the southern gate has been shattered, and most of its upper half is missing. The southern gate opens onto a great temple, while the eastern gate has a road wide enough to accommodate the largest merchant caravan.
