THE THREE WALLS
Over 100 years before the beginning of the story, giant humanoid creatures called Titans (巨人 Kyojin) suddenly appeared and nearly wiped out humanity, devouring them without remorse or reason. What remains of humanity now resides within three enormous concentric walls: the outermost is Wall Maria (ウォール・マリア Wōru Maria); the middle wall is Wall Rose (ウォール・ローゼWōru Rōze, sometimes pronounced like rosé) and the innermost is Wall Sheena (ウォール・シーナ Wōru Shīna, alt. "Wall Sina"). Inside these walls, humanity has lived in uneasy peace for one hundred years.
Walls
Wall Maria is the outermost wall of the human kingdom, and thus the most expansive of their territory within. Because of its territory diameter, farmland and livestock, along with a massive forest of 80 meter tall trees were located here. Like the other walls, Wall Maria is approximately 50 meters in height. Five years ago, it was breached by the Colossal Titan after about 100 years of peace and prosperity, and about 20% of the population were killed, while the survivors retreated behind Wall Rose.
Wall Rose is the second outermost wall following Wall Maria. Its outer Trost Gate was breached by the Colossal Titan after 5 years of Wall Maria being breached, but has been covered by a boulder with the help of Eren Jaeger. It was thought to have been breached again after Titans appeared inside it.
