Vurlitvalz
A defensive fortification orginated by the Mountainbreaker clan. The tower works as a chokepoint by controlling access to walkways leading to more sensitive areas. A complex series of weights, levers and pulleys turns the walkway on a spindle built around the tower.
Newer vurlitvalz designs often utilize elemental magic for easier use. These designs are less likely to break down and require repair, but most fans of Dwarven architecture find them to be inferior to the original Mountainbreaker designs.
