Overview

Cëtê-êsè Fêqê was founded durring the early 13th century in spring of the year 1224, by Ma̋sh Nīrmboī 'Skyla Jojo' Vú̄boī Vúnvó Vú̄̋ch Fyêyê. The establishment of Cëtê-êsè Fêqê was somewhat plagued by a lack of willing colonists, leading to Ma̋sh Nīrmboī 'Skyla Jojo' Vú̄boī Vúnvó Vú̄̋ch Fyêyê electing to pay people to resettle in Cëtê-êsè Fêqê.

Cëtê-êsè Fêqê was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 13th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Cëtê-êsè Fêqê is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature timber framed wooden shiethed or brick construction, which gives form to a very formalized, rational, expence effishent arcatectural style based on strictly symmetrical designs which universaly feature pitched roofs, shutters, and the occasional column or pilaster for a decorative touch.

Cëtê-êsè Fêqê is was constructed arround several narrow packed earth mainstreets which cross one another at certain axies, with smaller streets branching off of them to premit acess to the many buildings deeper into the road network. The overall fashion is remenessent of a circulatory system, or other organic construct, and is quite effishent in its design. The town is the proud owner of a properly designed set of renforced walls made from mighty querried stone blocks. Their construction and material choices would make a dwarf weap with joy, for each and every part of the elaborate fortifications are purly functional and robust well byond reason. Even nonexperts can tell the walls are an excelent defencive structure. Unfortuantly, these exceptionaly well made fortifications are in extreem disrepair, so much so that one cannot tell if they are decaying from a lack of mantance or damage incured.

Even the most brief look arround Cëtê-êsè Fêqê has a good chance of putting a church or shrine into the center of your view. The town is most certainly a god fearing community. It’s also definitely a god loving community. THe streetcornors are occupied by preachers, with the occasional intersection playing host to an actually friendly debate relating to the merits of various gods. Even the less popular as well as the less politically loved gods seem to have a space in Cëtê-êsè Fêqê, there’s even shrines to gods known to the region only through hearsay.

Cultural Notes

The locals have cut a deal with some unspeakable entity, trading some form of tribute (benign of horrific) in exchange for the being’s forbearance or assistance. Outsiders may be ignorant of the bargain, or they may know that the community is in thrall but be too fearful of its master to take action against them. The creature likely serves as a protector as well as a tyrant, so the locals may be content with the deal even if it doesn’t offer any further inducement or aid.

Cëtê-êsè Fêqê's mayor's house was built using a different architectural style from the rest of the town. The style used is inspired by the natural world, characterized by sinuous, sculptural, organic shapes, arches, curving lines, and sensual ornamentation. Common motifs included stylized versions of leaves, flowers, vines, insects, animals, and other natural elements. Decorative elements found on the inside and outside of buildings include intricate mosaic work, curved windows, and decorative trim work. .

Cëtê-êsè Fêqê's citizens partake in a curious ritual relating to their local kami. It takes place in summer and involves bloodletting to channel Abjuration energies of tier 2 via recitation of scripture.
