The Walls of Trinsic (by Adamu Edom)

The enormous sandstone walls that bring Trinsic both protection from its enemies and fame throughout Sosaria are a subject of much debate. While the walls do indeed provide protection and make the city a fortress, the walls too restrict the size and scope of the city itself leading to overcrowding and an occasional exodus of our middle aged men and women to Britain and Skara Brae.

The history of the walls that surround our proud city dates far into the Age of Darkness. Even before the Great King came into power. Then the walls of Trinsic were a pointed wooden lattice hewn from the forest lands to the north. The warring Kingdoms of Men demanded strong walls, and the forest depleted quicker than many could have imagined in those years.

When the flood waters first came, the wooden walls did very little to protest us from the sea and the north peninsula became a swampland and bog. It was then the first plans for the Trinsic Wall first began. Sandstone from the vast sandstone deposits on Barrier Isle to the east were requisitioned and too that resource was torn from the land.

It was quickly determined that by reaping any further sandstone from the isle that Trinsic proper would be at risk from further flooding and tidal fluctuations. And so Barrier Isle excavation was abandoned and the walls have stayed static and unchanged since that Age.

Still the sacrifices, triumphs and battles we the people of Trinsic have endured to maintain and build our great walls have not been in vain. For we are the shield of Britannia, the King looks to us as the bastion of defense for our motherland of Britannia. We train her Paladins, we instruct her Generals, and we protect the people and the peace. We are Trinsic, and our walls will hold.
