The Great Walls of EtroaWith the protection of Eld, a new world was opened to us.
There was much talk of what to do to defend their new allies and their country. During this, other projects were worked on, a man created Double book Accounting, the great Aqueducts and Public Baths were built, and one person had an idea.
"Why not build a wall, many walls?"
While insane on the surface, that was only if these walls covered a small area. What was proposed were the Great Walls. Stone mined for the northen mountains taken from the recent war, and carried in the Floating Carriages, wheeled carriages which made use of Skytears to carry large and heavy loads across distances very easily.
And through Skytears and quarrying, along with an invention called Skyborn concrete. The Great Walls were built.
Skyborn Concrete is a special thing, made up of Skytears crushed and mixed in gravel and sand. Once wet, it could be pasted on easily, and once dried, hardened, boasting immense binding strength between separate objects, as if they were one piece. The cold of the stone gave it great strength, and the weight of the stone kept it in place even when warmed.
Using Skytear lifts, rope and wood scaffolding, and the quarried stone, 20 to 30 feet tall walls could be built quickly, with entire lengths built in a day with the help of the Heavy Hands These walls boasted bastions every 100 feet or so along their length(along with many near the gates), the same height but for being where the walls connected. And Gates were also built in places allowing passage, and able to deny it, forcing an enemy to assault them to pass. Additionally, some sections of the wall had towers built into them, allowing guards to rest and supplies stored, as well as to ascend by foot from behind these walls.
From the Plains' Sea all the way to the Mountains was the first Great Wall built. And in time, more Great Walls were built, creating vast spaces protected from enemies, as well as directing passage through valley areas that could box an enemy inside. As well, with this ability to build, walls were built to defend towns, cities, and create forts and castles.
In this manner, Etroa became known as the Great Shield, and those they protected forever safe against invaders.
