Winding Walls

The Winding Walls run through the shadow city, creating a labyrinth of narrow alleys, courts, and bazaars, with only the Threefold Gate allowing a straight path to Sunspear.

History

Three centuries after Nymeria's War, Sunspear became a further walled settlement with the building of three massive Winding Walls, encircling one another and containing miles of narrow alleys, hidden courts, and noisy bazaars. The Threefold Gate, where the gates are lined up one behind the other, avoids the labyrinth, instead allowing straight passage on a brick path to the Old Palace, allowing visitors to pass all three of the Winding Walls directly, without having to pass through the labyrinth of the shadow city. If need be, these gates can be heavily defended.
