Defences

The citadel lies on a large plateau jutting out of the Browntail Range, with a long steep track snacking up its slopes to the citadel's gates. Its walls are constructed from Sandstone and merge into the surrounding peaks. Assaulting forces find themselves having to scale the steep slopes of the plateau, a fact that is easily exploitable by the cunning Tabaxi defenders. Any attacker would be faced by a miriade of traps as well as relentless arrow barrages during their ascent.

History

Perch Above the Treetops is the traditional safe haven for the Tabaxi in times of strife. It is said when gods and dragons still roamed the east, the Tabaxi of old found safe refuge within the citadel's walls as apocalyptic destruction ravaged the surrounding land.

Points of interest

A large step pyramid in the centre of the citadel serves as the keep. It is surrounded by smaller satellite pyramids which are used as temples by the area's residents.
