The city was there first, but now everyone knows that it is the last wall against the steady flow of devils and demons swarming up from the Death marshes. The city is visibly worn from decades of attacks.
Noticeably there are almost no children or women left in town.
Resources and reinforcements are transported or teleported in from other cities. The “Nill Tax”, is wearing them down, but most still recognise its importance.
