The Eastern Wall was the final section of The Wall constructed in the final months of The Great War. Throughout the war, most of the region was defended at the time by several scattered outposts. As much of the landscape itself created a well enough barrier to protect InterCity from the enemy advances from the East. In the years before The Fusion, the forests had all but burned down even before WW3 and most the towns were abandoned. After the two worlds fused together however, the land around The Wall had become enriched by Jenjarian soil and was once again livable-for a time. It didn't last long. Inside The Wall, after a disastrous event, the prosperous land soon became what is today called The Dead Zone and the forests that nature reclaimed were set aflame by dormant un-extinguishable underground fires and the landscape is now a plague ridden, fire filled hellscape that rains ash and not to mention the region is also frequented by earthquakes that open fissures in the land and swallow people and even settlements whole.

The Wall itself was built along the highest points of this mountainous region. The path of construction of The Eastern Wall was guided by the zigzagging paths of the many hiking trails that were made over the centuries before-the John Muir Trail among them. Some of the zigzagging sections of the wall soldiers have been seen throwing a baseball back and forth, but if they walked along the wall to one another it would take more than an hour to reach eachother. Some sections of the wall do not match the rest of the design scheme. Several chunks of the wall have been taken out by various means, collapsed by earthquakes, sunken into underground chasms or destroyed by enemy attacks during The Great War. While others appear to have a different design altogether because they were built hastily during the war using what resources they had and every contractor had their own ideas of how best to fortify the region. It has become less maintained over the years, but it remains standing-for the most part.

Along The Wall, every ten miles or so, or at designated weakpoints-is either a pill box, crows nest or a tower. The most of them all prominent being is The Bear's Den, armed with an array of military cannons taken off decommissioned battleships. The largest of which being a 800mm Mobile Artillery Canon that moves along on a railroad installed on the wall, the cannon has been nicknamed 'The Hibernator' because if it doesn't kill you, it forces you into hiding for a long time. The cannon even has access to a lift and can be dropped onto a mobile tank which will allow it to traverse the mountains and deserts for strategic purposes. It is used less these days as an instrument of war and more of a fire prevention device. The blast from one shell's impact is so powerful it sends a wave on smothering smoke and ash which can prevent the fire from spreading to the few populated areas of The Cinderlands.
