Great Black Wall

Construction beginning/end

Zhentil Keep finishes construction of the Great Black Wall

In the years following the death of Zhentar, Zhentil Keep experienced a period of major expansion with the Council of Lords pouring money into the city, setting their sights on forging Zhentil Keep into the dominant center of trade in The Emerald Basin. The first project undertaken was the construction of a heavily fortified bridge across the Tesh River, linking the city with the southern trade routes. A massive log boom was then constructed to control access to the river. With the river and bridge secure, a new section of the city was constructed on the southern shore of the river where a large tower and gate were raised. The entire northern section was then expanded outwards. By 1668 the encampment completed the construction of a Great Black Wall
