Where's the fireplace for heating up stuff to dump down the murder holes?

Also, are hoardings just half-assed afterthought machicolations?

The forts in ESO are exactly like this. It's pretty cool when you're in the middle of a giant battle around them.

Showed this to my 7yo who was excited to learn of murder holes, but thought it best to let the latrine fill up. True to type, he wouldn't even flush a hole in the floor.
