By the way I just checked my notes. Now likve everything prepublication  this is all subject to change at a moment's notice, but in the last draft I had Sarotar Keep was a broch (surrounded by later walls built by Jarolar (I see Jarolar's walls as being like the gallic wall the 'murus gallicus')

Again all subject to the slicing of editors and the changes of others, but the royal roads of Sartar are covered in the current draft - your guess is close enough there is rubble as well as soil for drainage (and logs in marshland). The draft also discussed issues such as Lunar military control of the roads, tolls, etc. that were previously hot topics on this list.

SO again I mostly agree, but all the usual caveats apply to a work in development...
