Walls



The Walls exist since more than a century ago. The humans started to become extinct at the hand of the Titans. Due to this the humans made huge walls to protect their last stronghold. The walls reach about 50 metres in height. The tops of the walls are lined with cannons, which can fire on approaching Titans.

Because the walls are too long for humanity to guard their entire lengths, each has four towns on their edges. Because Titans are drawn towards large concentrations of people, they focus their attacks on these towns, and humanity's defenses can be focused there.

The interior of the walls seem to contain numerous dormant Titans. However no details have been given, it has been suggested that the walls were originally created by Titans using their hardening ability.

Two of the few people who know about the Titans in the walls are Pastor Nick and Historia Renz. Pastor Nick is a foremost member of a cult which considers the walls to be holy. Historia was a formerly high-born lady and presumably knows about the walls because of that.
