Cape Wall

What they are

Cape Wall is a walled peninsula at the tip of Africa. A long wall across the land keeps the dead out. It is Africa's strongest power.

Where they are

It holds Cape Town and the land behind its wall. Its council meets at the Castle of Good Hope, an old star-shaped fort in Cape Town. Cape Wall Market is its busiest trading place. Maseru in Lesotho, a mountain stronghold to the north east, trades with it.

Who leads them

Sipho Ndlovu, 58, male, is the chair of the Wall Council. He runs the wall guard and the harbor trade. At Cape Wall Market, Thabo Mokoena is the market warden.

What they want

Cape Wall wants trade and safety. It wants the Salt Fleet to keep coming, and it wants to reopen the long road north.

How they treat outsiders

Outsiders who pass the blood test can work and trade inside the wall.

Mutated and Undead

Mutated live in a quarantine quarter outside the wall and may enter by day with a pass. Undead are shot at the wall.

What they trade

Wine, fish, fruit, grain and wool. It buys tools, metal, fuel and medicine through the Salt Fleet.

Allies and enemies

  • Allies. The Salt Fleet. The mountain stronghold of Maseru.

  • Enemies. Raiders on the roads north.

Their fighters

There is no special stat block for Cape Wall. For trained guards and troops, use the Continuity Soldier stat block with a different uniform, and the Continuity Officer for a commander. Use Scavenger for ordinary traders and wall crews.
