Gone were the double curtain walls separated by a moat. The new fortifications of Winterfell reached just shy of three hundred feet, and beyond them, one could see the orderly yet colourful slate and clay-tiled roofs and the cobbled streets and squares peeking in between. Most importantly, there was no stench. The late and lamented Wyman Manderly's planning had paid off - the master masons had done a stellar job of building a clever sewage drain system that displaced the waste outside the city walls into a faraway field where it was turned into fertiliser. Coupled with strict sanitation laws and a budding new godswood open for the public for the city, Wintertown was the cleanest city in the whole world of its size.
