Smithstone

The largest city of the Volsaxi, becomes headquarter for Baron Sanuel's lands

IMO Smithstone is a sprawling city with no fortification worth the name. The walls and ditches are more of a political statement ("this is where city grounds begin") softened by suburbs which might have fences for their outer defenses. In other words: the material for the ramps to scale fairly low fortifications stands right outside the walls.

IMG Smithstone has an acropolis - an enormous glacial erratic - like the Block. One of my players, a mineral Sage, inquired far enough to learn its private name, which was "The Anvil" . One of the few times I've actually managed to boggle a player in game.

The Anvil has too little water to withstand a true siege, if I recall correctly, so this should make no material military difference.
