At the sight of her brother, Alae's face only grew harder. Alaerth was still livid and snarling in anger, but he had to answer, or it was his sister's life.
"Matron Alliene helped design our captial's defenses. The walls have poison and paralysis spells, and there are slots in it built so that mages and arches can send things out but things can't go in. Behind the wall are several chain lightning traps that trigger if the enemy manages to get over the wall, and the area around the castle is enchanced so that arrows and spells can reach across and strike them down before they can get close to the castle. The wall of the castle is much the same, but instead of chain lightning, there is a specially designed cold spell that slows enemies down. If anyone manages to breach the castle walls, several cloudkill spells go off."
