Walls: Thick 20ft stone walls, each 60ft high, guards will patrol on the tops of the walls in order to keep an eye on the surrounding area. There are specialized watch towers attached to the walls that peek up another 30ft and have specialized equipment to view further than a normal eye.
The walls have defensive spikes at their top so anyone trying to climb over may be stabbed, the tips are coated with poison when the city higharchy seems as though it may have a heightened chance of breach. Or when respected visitors enter inside of it.
There are two Gates, one south and one North, both thick wooden doorways with a thick metal bar that is pulled out from the wall to close it up at night. After the sun begins to fade these gates lock and have an additional 6ft of stone to penetrate from any incoming attacks.
Possible Weaknesses:
Their is a secure area for water to enter the city facing the mountains, It does have guards posted at all times of day and night.
There is a battle damaged wall by the North Gate, it was repaired but there is a difference in color that might be more easily broken by ballistic attacks.
Water/food storage:
The city has a flow of water that comes down from the mountain, this stream is checked often to ensure its purity. One of the jobs of the city's slaves are to check the water, and ensure that it isn't poisoned. This is done by drinking it.
The Guards have an underground storage area where basic foods are kept, the City has a separate stash that is reuses and replenishes every few months. This town is used to being attacked, and these have been developed to hold out for 1-3 months well the city is under siege.
