The main defensive facility of the Kongdi Capital was the Acropolis of Moncado Fortress.
Most of the Holy Kingdom's city defenses took this form. When a city's development outpaced its walls, the once-formidable fortress could no longer encompass the entire urban area. Instead, it became a pivot point for the garrison to station troops, defend, and launch counterattacks. Fortifications extended outward from this hub, wrapping the city in layers of decreasing strength that reached all the way to its edge.
Viewed from above, Moncado Fortress's sharp lines formed geometrically symmetrical triangular projections. Its stacked layers of ramparts resembled a thorny rose blooming upon the earth.
Moncado Fortress was a paragon of defensive architecture, built during the reign of the Sun King, Charles XIV, after Dwarf cannons became widespread across the continent. It was classical, elegant, and formidable.
