Boke àbíhbfoù was founded durring the late 14th century in winter of the year 1351, by Vúónḱ Yaw̋chī 'Sugar Femme' Réoīsh Cōy Gāwm. The establishment of Boke àbíhbfoù was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Boke àbíhbfoù's construction back out of the project. Vúónḱ Yaw̋chī 'Sugar Femme' Réoīsh Cōy Gāwm pushed on reguardles, and Boke àbíhbfoù was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Boke àbíhbfoù was built using the conventions of Tauran durring the late 14th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Boke àbíhbfoù is no diffrent. The city'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.

Boke àbíhbfoù is buildings are arranged arrounded a highly ordered system of spacious paverstone streets which form triangular paterns, allowing the incides of the octagons to be common grounds for the buildings on the edges, be it for parkland, yardspace, plazas, or markets. The city has a fortified albit thin brick wall. The wall has most of the feeatures of a typical castle wall, just on a much smaller scale and and budget. Notably brick isn't a particuarly soild choice for resisting siege weapons. Boke àbíhbfoù's wall wouldn't hinder a proper army, but it is more than sufishent for bandits and other small marauding groups. The city's monster and outlaw focused fortifications are visibly old, but also obviously well maintained. Its likly the local malishia or garrison are tasked with routine mantance of the city's defences.

A look around Boke àbíhbfoù makes you worry someone might stab you in a dark ally for your boots.

You may want to keep an eye on your valuables, and make sure you don’t wind up in any position of power.
