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.

A series of recent construction projects has seen the city further fortified, with a two curtain walls erected, the first a little ways from the lowest ring of cliffs to protect a few choice grazing spots and cisterns, and the second built to reinforce the first level cliffs themselves where they have collapsed or slumped. Truly an impressive citadel.
