It seemed Allomere was destined to be deployed time and time again in untamed and savage regions beset with rogue flora and an uncultured populace.
The earth embankments and woodworks that formed the defensive curtain to the city seemed to blend with the forest that lay to all sides.
To live in such woodland squalor was the height of depravity. Even the conscripted street children of The Imperial City formerly lived like nobility by comparison.
The bold portions are what I have a problem with. All the rest I consider mere hyperbole, as formerly suggested.
The peasants are uncultured? I can see that if they were rogue, and I could see them described as different or weird. But to say uncultured is tantamount to saying that the nobles over them are inept at culturing them.
Earth embankments and woodworks? Really? They have a level 4 or level 5 fortress in Rettleville don't they? Maybe as a palisade or motte and bailey could I see that description, but if it's a fortress, that's not even close to being an accurate description unless that wood is freaking petrified.
The nobles live in the woodland too. To say living in a woodland is depraved... Is quite insulting and uncalled for.
