The Great Wall (Markalfar)

The Great Wall refers to a span of 10 mile stretch that closes the valley of Sal'Aum between the ends of the Western and Eastern Mountains.

In 1785 the Elves and Markalfarns began construction of the North Wall, a cooperative effort that greatly improved the city’s relationship with the rest of the land. The wall spans seven thousand cubits long, 100 cubits high, 25 cubits thick, and is the oldest structure known to us at this time. It is made primarily of Sandstone and has a warm, brown color.

For another 40 years the darkness from the north continued assaulting the wall periodically, but never in force or organized. The official containment date was announced by Sultan Amaan as Summer 12, 1820, and Markalfar enjoyed peace for the next 2200 hundred years.
