Outer Wall

The Outer Wall of Semper encircles the entire perimeter of the City State.

It is reminiscent of defensive walls from the Medieval Period, particularly those of southern europe.

It spans a distance of 16.87 km (55,355 ft/10.5 miles).

The Wall is 5 metres tall (16.4 Feet), and shaped as a right angled triangle, with a flat exterior surface and an incline on the interior. It is 6 metres (19.6 feet) wide at its base, tapering to 4 metres (13.1 feet) wide at its top.

It is crested with ramparts and a crenellated parapet. The crenellations are a further six feet tall, with the merlons standing at three feet.

Towers

The Outer Wall has eight gates through which entry may be gained, all leading directly to the compartments of the Exterior, and The Crystal Wall. These are placed at the North, South, East and West compass points, with the remaining four at the North-East, South-East, South-West and North-West points.

The Eight Gates in the Outer Wall are named:

The Visitors Gate, The Black Gate, The Wood Gate, The Steam Gate, The Angel Gate, The Greenway Gate ,The Ludgate, and The Liberty Gate.
