Indestructible City

Template:Infobox Location The Indestructible City, also abbreviated as the IC, is a scavenger city introduced in Dragonslayer. It lies near the mountain range splitting Pyrrhia and bordering the Kingdom of Sand. It sits on a cliff and is described to look like a city in the sky.

Description

Not much is known about the Indestructible City, however Wren described it as having too many walls and many spiky and intimidating guards. There is a contraption designed for rising and lowering heavy goods and humans in and out of the walls of the city. 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. It is mentioned to have an overhang above it and a waterwheel to collect water. There are many people searching for safety waiting outside the walls, though the Invincible Lord limits the flow of migrants into his walls. Many of them wait there for weeks.

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.

History

Winter Turning

The scavenger den that shot at Qibli and the others was the Indestructible City.

Dragonslayer

The Indestructible City is first mentioned by Rowan when she recalled the legend of the Dragonslayer. Wren and Sky visit the city to trade Sky's rare scales for books, clothes, and other useful things. Sky stays hidden while Wren does this. The prince of the city, Undauntable, gives 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 Arcs 1 and 2 of the mainstream series, it is labeled with an image of a farm instead. It is unknown why this is.
• The Indestructible City appears to be at least 2,000 years old, as it is shown in both the map in Darkstalker (Legends) and the map in Darkness of Dragons.
• Although it is possible that there has been a human city in the area for that long, The Indestructible City itself may not be that old.
• The Indestructible City is the third known human city in the series, the first Talisman and the second Valor. It is also the sixth city mentioned in the series alongside The Scorpion Den, Possibility, Sanctuary, Talisman, and Valor.
