Fortress 178's sole existence was for the purpose of war. Therefore, it was destined to be different from the other strongholds ever since its emergence.
There were no shops selling a variety of things in the streets, nor were there any particularly well-dressed pedestrians. Some girls had already changed into long skirts for the spring season, but even their long dresses were made out of calico fabric.
The clothes of those in the fortress were very monotone and were mainly in shades of dark blue, dark green, or yellow.
At present, the textile dyeing techniques in Fortress 178 were still stuck at the most basic level. After wearing the clothes for some time, the color would start fading.
