Everyone who is anyone in Kirkwall lives in Hightown, and they give little thought to what goes on in Lowtown other than to complain when the wind drags up the stench from its foundries or ancient mines. People in Hightown feel safe, not because the city's walls are impregnable, but because an invader would need to scale the stairs from Lowtown in order to reach them. Many bloody battles have been fought on those narrow stairs, and in several wars Hightown has held out for months after Lowtown was taken. The wealthy often forget, however, that those stairs are also their only escape.





Sounds nice! I wonder who the person is with the circle spike in the second image.

I'm loving the concept art, but when you compare that concept art to the in game shots of Kirkwall, it just doesn't match up. Its the same problem of Origins having great concept art and the in game stuff not holding up its end of the bargain.

Actually, I'd say the in-game Hightown matches the concept art quite closely.

As for those asking how goods are brought up from Lowtown, there's two methods: giant winches (you'll see some of these on the stairs in-game) and the Guild of Porters (ie. on the backs of those poor sods willing to earn a few coppers).
