Overview
Agêva-bazehë Bî was founded durring the late 13th century in spring of the year 1196, by Glèshi Trêtëm. The establishment of Agêva-bazehë Bî was plagued by a lack of willing colonists. After attempts to pay people to resettle failed Glèshi Trêtëm struck deals with nearby nations and communities to establish Agêva-bazehë Bî as a prison colony.
Agêva-bazehë Bî was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the late 13th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Agêva-bazehë Bî is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature waddle and daub construction with good timber frames and a stone foundation protected by thatched or shingled rooves. Most buildings with second floors are built in such a way as to overhang into the streets on the upper floors for more space, as building size seems to be the primary indicator of wealth within the community. Most buildings are not decorated with any integral features, but instead use ivy, flowers, and other natural elements in planters of on trellices to breathe life into the structure they grow upon.
Agêva-bazehë Bî is is constructed arround a semi-circular spacious baked earthen mainstreet, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to eachother at varrious points. The town rests behind the absurdity that is a thick, timber braced, wall made of clay bricks. While visualy impressive and certainly an astetic, Agêva-bazehë Bî's wall provides no actual defence against siege equipment due to the choice of its cosntruction materials. Even nonexperts can tell the town is trying to impress rather than defend with its walls, towers, and gatehouses. Though admittedly, they do look nice... To primitive tribals who have never seen fortifications before. Agêva-bazehë Bî's political statment focused walls are in an unremarkable state. To some, this is the ideal sate for defences to be in. In need of absoutly nothing, and ready to serve the town as needed.
Agêva-bazehë Bî is, in a word, disorder. People seem to be allowed to do as they please with little harmoney to anything. It feels less like a town, and more like a spot people just happened to place their homes. Yet there are small elements here and there which show the underlying structure of the community. It’s just so complex, organic, and flowing one can only understand what is a piece of the puzzle, but not what its neighbors are.

Cultural Notes
Agêva-bazehë Bî's chapel was built using a different architectural style from the rest of the town. The style used is admittedly strange and non-linear style rooted in defiance of symmetrical shapes. It championed the creation of buildings with a unique visual appearance. the structural norms of classic buildings and deforms or moves away from elementary architectural principles. By including non-linear designs processed into its buildings and favoring fragmentation, this style expressed a form of controlled chaos. Its buildings appear out-of-the-ordinary, draw the eye in immediately and sometimes create a feeling of strangeness. These distorted shapes and structure are not reserved to the building’s outer facade, they destabilize interior elements too, favoring minimalism and play on people’s perceptions by injecting a futuristic touch.
Agêva-bazehë Bî's citizens partake in a curious ritual relating to their local kami. It takes place in autumn and involves destroying a prepared ritual vessel to channel Charm energies of tier 2 via divine sermons.

History
In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century, Agêva-bazehë Bî was attacked by a slaver gang capable of fielding large forces. The details of the conflict are hazy at best due to many conflicting accounts. What is known is Agêva-bazehë Bî lost 262 people, 133 livestock, and 90 buildings. The conflict ended after roughly 225, when members of Agêva-bazehë Bî's militia enacted an operation to train a group of civilians for a special clandestine operation. The operation was complicated by major logistical problems. The conflict ended with pitched battle between both forces, which ended in victory for Agêva-bazehë Bî's forces. The war is remembered in legend by Agêva-bazehë Bî's bards, historians, and legend keepers.
