a new northern territory

[Pikel Boldshoulder 175]

I've also been studying the Undead and there ways and I have a few defense plans if ye want to hear them

[Khaene 1]

Ideally we would defend Winterfell but without a lord that may prove impossible. Building on the work already started on this island, however, is the more realistic choice compared to building a new massive cobblestone structure.

But no matter how high the wall is it is still vulnerable to what brought down Alston. The undead spies were allowed to freely come and go. They knew when the guard was weakest and launched an attack from already inside the city when they knew the vast majority couldn't fight back ((offline)).

Nay, fixed fortifications are foolish. We must go to ground and conduct a war of attrition. We need to identify their spies and burn them out of their lairs. Without a network of willing slaves the undead will have lost their momentum.

There needs to be rules for the gates now, cities under siege should only allow in people who are of their race or a known friend. No strangers in hoods, or people who refuse to give out their names. Traders from other regions should not be allowed entrance. Times are too risky and cities are falling from within. Also visitors should be asked to remove their helms if they have any so we can be sure they are the honest sort.

The island fortress is intelligent. If the walls were to be torn down we could start afresh. Most of the cobbled ground will be fine how it is. If it started as a castle in the dead center, a tall spire of sorts and was surrounded by a wall of sized up dimensions that could be the inner city which can be domed by cobble or smoothstone. The inner city would act as the governmental district and guild district with the prison and guard barracks. Then an even larger sized wall can go around that and it will be the main residential region of the city the walls will have two entrances one to the east towards the undead and another to the south towards Al'Khazar. Each gate house can be equipped with beds and protected chests for guards so we can get new recruits (new players who want to store their possessions but can't afford housing.)

Then the outer districts won't need walls or atleast won't need complete walls, as you can see there is a smaller section of the castle that has a wall to the south and a bridge connecting to the main fort. If the wall were to be adjusted so it protected the North, east, and west then the south can be open for docks where one can buy boats or by rides on large boats to Al'Khazar or Laurelin.

anybody who wishes to pass into the city must pass into a interrogation room. in this room they will be interrogated. if they pass they will be given a passport. they can then show this and pass through. if they lose it there will be a book of names that should list who is accepted. anybody who fails interrogation and claims that they are innocent will have to go through me or any of you i will promote to lords of the city. there they will be judged

[Einnatz 10]

Are there people there right now? I'm asking because I don't want to just walk into undead.

Aye that would work in a way. It would be safer than the Oren Guard of Al'Khazar asking Name and business. There would need to be someone to be a bookscribe who writes out the passports which would be probably 3 or 4 pages but they'd need to make around 20. There would have to be multiple copies of the books of people who have been accepted at least 4 or 5. One kept in each of the Gate houses, one at the guard's barracks, one in the possession of the guard captain, one in possession of the lord, the book scribe, and a library. That way if someone loses their passport they can receive a new one.

The outer city should be free for everyone to enter, that would be where traders and explorers go, businesses and inexpensive houses could be there as well. The outer ring just requires name and business and that is the more expensive housing district with shops of a higher class can be there (shops that deal with armor and weapons and other things of expense) then the inner city is what would require a passport.

[Reoigi 4]

i will build the city past the undead keep. this will give us an iron grip in the fight against the undead. also the city will be free to all races seeing as we would unite all to rid the evil of the undead

[pewpewnotqq 0]

Past the undead keep? How far would you go once i return from the exploration((get online)) i shall try to find this place and help in any way i can ((due to recent rollback i have nothing but a couple hundred minas))((just pm me the coords))

[funy 1]

I would like to help in some way. I am very poor at the moment, and don't have very many resources, but if there is something I can do, tell me.

[Reoigi 4]

i haven't begun yet and i don't wish to start alone so if any of you see me reoigi ((brilegend)) tell me you wish to help in building resistance. i would wish to start with no less than 5 stacks of cobble we will build the hall of resistance which will be a temple like place that goes in the center ring. from there we build out word. i am a guard at alstion so you could find me there. my appearance may frighten you though i wear a hood and have glowing eyes

rough sketch

[GrimBeard 46]

Alstions up and runing just improve that town instead of spreading out men

[pewpewnotqq 0]

Perhaps instead of spreading our numbers so thin, we could take whatever resources we can from winterfell and put them into Aliston but only use trusted people to transfer the supplies. Then undead wont be able to use winterfell as a base and Aliston will be that much stronger, then perhaps an underground tunnel or rail system.

[Masterfawkes 33]

What made you assume our magic does not work inside. I can cast my magic where ever I wish the lightning comes from my staff not the sky you ignorant fool. I spit on you and your plans against us. Go ahead make your walls as thick as you wish, sound proof your grave. so the outsiders cannot hear your screams.

[yugimon8 1]

im a donater so i can help with the gates

[Reoigi 4]

i agree if alstion still stands i would rather not build a city but if alstion falls once more the north will be lost. with winterfell being cut of from alkhazar the 2 would fall almost simultaneously. the 2 (alstion and resistance) could be sister cities. either way i believe that snowy fields and alstion weren't built to withstand the undead and looked what hapened to snowy fields. i only propose building a city that can withstand the undead attacks from the ground up. if this city were to stand the undead attacks will be split meaning that both cities will have a greater chance of standing. i only ask you hear these words.
