Beyond the gate lay a single, 30' wide road. An additional cleared area, about 40' in length, extends the right side for use by barracks, inns, and other trading posts and rest stops that periodically mark the path. The left side simply consists of a simple yet refined 10' high fence of wood and glass seemingly built to allow one to view the forest without risking any animals getting stuck in it. The far right has a similar fence. Both fences have doors every few hundred feet, but these exits are both locked and festooned with warnings that one cannot use the doors without a permission sigil.
A guard helpfully explains - it appears that whenever Fovaros expands the city walls, it does so by adding an additional pair of "growth" rings, somewhat like a tree. The smaller of the two rings is used as living space, while the larger is kept as a permanent nature preserve. Before them lies the second preserver ring, which stretches a few miles before the first true city area. The preserve itself also includes military fortifications, specialized logging paths, farming areas, and other utility structures but the specifics of such things are not so easily shared to outsiders.

The first inn can be seen in the distance - it won't be a long walk. Even shorter if they rode a Equiphant like that man barreling down the path in their direction. He lets out an exasperated shout, his eyes clearly focused on the entrance.
"*pant* He's probably already at the gate..!!"
The rider's fine clothing, likely those of an elite servant, bears the crest of House Cyprien.
