City Districts
Fellwind knows few true, well defined districts. Craftsmen clump together where the mountain provides running water through its many springs, residents rise wherever there is need for them.Defences
Most buildings, tunnels and bridges built in Fellwind provide some form of defensive position. Fellwind was grown into a true military fortress city, capable to withstand sieges and attacks from both the west as well as the east, and many times these defenses were severely tested.
Industry & Trade
The city benefits greatly from the many mines and quarries surrounding the city. The Bloodlight mountains are rich with minerals and metals.
Infrastructure
Hewn stone and gravel streets wind through the city like a maze. Only a handful of straight, wide roads cross the city proper, these were built to allow troops and supplies to easily cross the areas. The maze like alleys, bordered and covered by wood and stone buildings (many of which feature some form of crenellation, arrow slits or murder holes) allow the city to maintain an effective resistance should it be breached.
