Despite the town's size, the walls around it are more of a formality, than anything. Unlike Brindol, which has tall, solid walls protecting it, Southwind Hold has a relatively short and insubstantial wall defending it, more designed to discourage raiders than to defeat an actual siege. Not to mention, the rather large adventurer's hall not far from the city gates, producing a significant number of highly skilled individuals, who can also defend the town. He'll also see a large plaza, near the bridge, dedicated to the Heroes of the Vale, including larger-than-life sized statues of himself, Maura, Daminor, and Cerul, at the height of their victory, standing over the dead body of Tiamat's avatar. There's no sign of the Yuan-ti or lizardfolk inside the city, which means they haven't managed to conquer the entire region, and, after this much time, likely won't at all.<br/><br/>It doesn't take much asking around to discover the fate of the town's first rulers; Mauraleah and Daminor Southwind both passed away at the same time, roughly one hundred years ago, found hand in hand in their chairs, in a small cabin, not far from their keep, deep in the Witchwood. Today, they're buried not far away from that cabin, a half-day's walk from the heart of Soutwind Hold.
