Overview

Ådehlÿ Fa Väc was founded durring the early 12th century in summer of the year 1126, by Luthrix Nuldzafral. The establishment of Ådehlÿ Fa Väc was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Ådehlÿ Fa Väc's construction back out of the project. Luthrix Nuldzafral pushed on reguardles, and Ådehlÿ Fa Väc was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Ådehlÿ Fa Väc was built using the conventions of Dwarvern durring the early 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Ådehlÿ Fa Väc 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.

Ådehlÿ Fa Väc is buildings are arranged arround a network of spacious split-log ties streets which form a grid, where each square verries in size given the proximity of the paralell streets forming each section. The ocasional smaller square has been used to construct a park, plaza, and other communal structures. The town is the proud owner of a proper castle-style stone wall complete with all of the trimmings. It has towers, a moat, gatehouses, drawbridges, and even merticulationsshortsizeleadershipname.. Ådehlÿ Fa Väc's perhapse unnessisarily well built defences are suffering from significent damage, so much so that examples can be pointed to no matter which section one might have within their line of site, and most of which render sections inoperable at present.

Ådehlÿ Fa Väc has the unmistakable air of a town on its last legs. Everything is a bit slipshod and ramshackle. Everyone is at work, or drinking. No one has anything in their eyes other than fear and despair. Whatever industry once fueled Ådehlÿ Fa Väc ’s existence has dried up and the town is drifting down the stream of history as it dries up. The people are clearly worried about something, and everyone is either wearing a weapon or has one close at hand. Your gut tells you it’s not mere fate which has caused this town to begin failing...

Cultural Notes

The arch served as the style's chief structural element, with flanking columns serving as buttresses or decorations.
