Thebilum Wall

The Thebilum Empire is famously very xenophobic and the most striking example of this aspect of their society is the Thebilum Wall that is built all the way along its boarder some claim that the wall isn't a wall but is clearly just a very abnormal mountain range because building it wouldn't be possible. The wall itself is thousands of meters high and on the side that faces out towards the rest of Tanalier it is a shear cliff of hard granite rock attempts have been made to mine through the wall but it doesn't have any natural fault lines to utilise and its shear rock front makes it difficult for chisels to make much of a dent, attempts have been made to climb and even fly up the wall but those who have tried claim that the wall itself grows in response to people trying this. 
Legend has it that this wall was also created over night some time around in the mid 1000's SU but the records of this construction while they do describe an impressive wall it doesn't speak of it towering into the sky. The first mentions of it as an imposing cliff face comes from 3324SU. 
To the south west of the Thebilum Empire the Wall has a Great Gate which allows passage into Thebilum from Dowgret a north eastern Region of Mer-Rein, these massive stone doors are far taller than they are wide with a grand golden doorframe. They have been closed since 6651 SU but before that they were used to hold trade and communications between the two nations, no one knows why they were closed or if they will be opened by the Thebilum ever again. There are rumours that there is a second or even third entrance to the Empire either below the wall in The Drazia Dynasty or the jungles of Janmier the Dynasty denies this and tribes of Janmier act like they have know idea what is being talked about. The wall is nearly pristine all the way around, apart rom a large crack near to Wollatton in the north of The D.R.B where the wall cracked in 6691 SU creating the Wollatton Fissure, it has been quite heavily explored and it appears to only lead to the Underdark not through to The Thebilum Empire. The damage to the wall caused blocks of granite were dislodged from the wall and these blocks were carved up and sold, these blocks became known as Thebilum Granite and were highly valued even though there is no real difference between this granite and regular granite apart from their origin.
