A rough road runs thither, ruined with long disuse. The Covenant grogs have blazed new portions of it by dragging stone-laden sledges behind them, but the trail is still quite rough. From the Northeast Junction, the North Wall sweeps in a long arc, perhaps 300 feet long, the arc jutting out to the North. At the end of this it reaches the Northeast Corner. The East Wall then runs from the Corner due south to the Southeast Corner, pierced in the center by the Gatehouse.
Grogs hide behind an improvised barricade.
The stream which formed by the spring overflowing created a marshy area to the south, which undermined the South Wall's foundations. This area has been drained via channels dug under the direction of Rene, Master Builder, and the ground is now firm enough to build upon. This channel is now used to drain sewage from the Covenant. The cistern has been repaired, so no new water has spilled over. Eventually, a sluice canal will be constructed, to flush out the sewage into the South Plain, toward the river.
