Palisade Wall

the palisade · the walls

The Princess Posse's border wall, assembled from massive metal sections and stress-tested with fireballs as it rises.

Story so far

Far to Carl's left, where the ground starts to slope away from The Princess Posse Base Camp, a group works on a palisade wall. A fireball flashes through the air and crashes into the metal posts, leaving them glowing red, while men and women point animatedly at the impact — they are testing the walls as they build them.

The sections are enormous: one falls while soldiers struggle to push it upright and embeds itself so deep in the earth that it disappears in a shower of dirt and grass, until Florin's Giant Caiman levers it back out with its snout. Similar crews work both borders, plus fall-back positions and watchtower squads, all racing the Ceasefire clock.

Appearance

Enormous prefabricated metal wall sections raised along the sloping border, some glowing red where test fireballs have struck the posts.

Role

The faction's border fortification, built and tested simultaneously before the war.
