I imagine it was designed to withstand attacks from both within and without.” Zariah wouldn’t have settled for anything less than a defensible structure: to her, force and power was all that mattered, and she had an unfortunate tendency to make everywhere she lived and everything she built fortresslike, or at least vaguely militaristic.
