Overview

Chira S̺ûku̽chû Kâchyâ was founded durring the late 15th century in spring of the year 1385, by Trëgarî Michaelson. The establishment of Chira S̺ûku̽chû Kâchyâ was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Chira S̺ûku̽chû Kâchyâ's construction back out of the project. Trëgarî Michaelson pushed on reguardles, and Chira S̺ûku̽chû Kâchyâ was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Chira S̺ûku̽chû Kâchyâ was built using the conventions of Rattu durring the late 15th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Chira S̺ûku̽chû Kâchyâ 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.

Chira S̺ûku̽chû Kâchyâ is is constructed arround a semi-circular spacious packed earth mainstreet, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to eachother at varrious points. The city 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.. The perhapse unnessisarily well built defences have not been wellmaintained over the years, and while functional are in dire need of some loving care and perhapse light renovation.

Chira S̺ûku̽chû Kâchyâ has the unmistakable air of a city 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 Chira S̺ûku̽chû Kâchyâ ’s existence has dried up and the city is drifting down the stream of history as it dries up. Likely due to this, Chira S̺ûku̽chû Kâchyâ 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 city, and more like a spot people just happened to have homes. One cannot help but wonder what Chira S̺ûku̽chû Kâchyâ was like during the glorydays.
