The Aegis
The Aegis, an imposing wall that separates the Kingdom of Melchiora from the untamed Northern Wilds, is both a testament to human ingenuity and a symbol of their resilience against chaos. Stretching for miles, the Aegis is constructed of reinforced stone and enchanted metals, standing nearly 50 feet tall with watchtowers placed at regular intervals. Each tower is manned by vigilant guards and equipped with ballistae and magical defenses to repel threats from beyond.
The wall is not merely a defensive structure—it is a living, breathing part of Melchiora’s frontier. Markets and outposts have sprung up along its southern side, serving as a last bastion of civilization before the wilds. Along the top, wide parapets allow for patrols and archers to move freely. Its northern face is scarred by time and countless battles, a stark reminder of the dangers lurking in the wildlands. To those who live near it, the Aegis is more than a barrier—it is a lifeline, holding the chaos of the unknown at bay.
