Outer City
Outer City, known also as the Ledge, is one of two major parts of King's Crown, the uppermost level of the dwarven metropolis of Highhelm in the Five Kings Mountains. The Outer City is built on a broad plane several hundreds feet wide cut from Emperor's Peak around the colossal cavern of the Inner City within the mountain itself.123
The Ledge faces the west, south, and east. From its walls the visitor can see half of Druma and most of the Verduran Forest. Highhelm's main siege wall, known as the Plummet Wall, is a huge 40-foot-thick battlement that rests at the end of the Ledge. A stout wall, the Second Wall, built 20 feet above the base of the Ledge encircles the inner face of the mountain's peak. The East Gate and the West Gate are the main entrances into Inner City and are heavily fortified.12
