The city of Chalcamahos, or Khalkama to the Wardenites, is built atop a massive series of earthworks of unknown provenance, perched one atop the other in four concentric rings. All told the footprint of the odd looking mountain is some fifteen kilometers in diameter, with each cliff exactly five meters in height. Even stranger, the peak features three fairly bountiful springs which flow even during time of drought - the product of an ancient and powerful magic whose origin is just as mysterious as the clearly artificial cliffs. Regardless, these factors combined with the fertile ground upon which the city is located have turned it into a veritable garden, protected from hostile armies by its formidable natural defenses. Recent works have seen the walls expanded, with each cliff now being reinforced by a layer of walls at their base. The city itself has begun to flourish as well with the excavation of ancient brick irrigation arterials and other tunnels beneath the ground, reducing the cost of maintaining the city's farms. As the city becomes increasingly self-sufficient, it should prove nearly impossible to siege.
