Template:Infobox Location The Indestructible City, also abbreviated as the IC,[1][page # needed] is a human settlement introduced in Dragonslayer. It lies near the mountain range splitting Pyrrhia and bordering the Kingdom of Sand, by the Winding Tail River. It sits on a cliff and is described to look like a city in the sky. It is ruled by the Invincible Lord and his son, Undauntable.
Description
The city is near a bend in the Winding Tail River, north of the Rainforest Kingdom, and west of Queen Moorhen's lake. Unlike most human settlements, it is not hidden away.
The Indestructible City is built halfway up a cliff overlooking a forest and towers far overhead,[2] and is placed so any dragon would be visible for miles in any direction.[citation needed] Cave entrances dot the cliffside and odd structures are carved out of the rock. A wall of thick stone runs around the edge, ending at the cliff on each side.[citation needed] There is a contraption designed for rising and lowering heavy goods and humans in and out of the walls of the city.[3] Guards protect the tall, narrow stairs that lead to the city, on the top of a cliff, and is said to be one of the only scavenger cities to fight back against dragons.[4] It is mentioned to have an overhang above it and a waterwheel to collect water.[5]
Notable Features
Defenses
The Indestructible City is mentioned by Rowan and Undauntable to utilize "massive dragon-fighting catapults." All the guards wear boiled leather armor covered in spikes to make it harder for a dragon to pick them up and carry them off.
It also has a large wooden contraption that is fit together with rope and metal. The pointed end of its spear slides into a slot in the stone wall and pokes out of the outer side. The spear is as long as a dragon, and was activated by a torch, shooting a flaming projectile at targets.[citation needed]
History
The Jade Mountain Prophecy
The scavenger den that shot at Qibli and the others was the Indestructible City.
Legends
The Indestructible City was first mentioned by Rowan when she recalled the legend of the Dragonslayer. Wren and Sky visited the city to trade Sky's rare scales for books, clothes, and other useful things. Sky stayed hidden while Wren does this. The prince of the city, Undauntable, gave Wren silver pieces in exchange for the scales. Later in the novel, the city was the main site of General Sandstorm's attack to find Oasis' treasure.
Trivia
- Despite the Indestructible City being larger than most scavenger dens and even having a large castle, in the first two arcs of the mainstream series, it is labeled with an image of a farm instead.
