Overview

Chuq Huz Ckez was founded durring the late 13th century in winter of the year 1160, by Gralubelynn Zehndtubgähdä. The establishment of Chuq Huz Ckez suffered from many setbacks, delays, and obsticles, most notably a group of Chuq Huz Ckez which required millitary assistance exterminate before the community could finish being built.

Chuq Huz Ckez was built using the conventions of Dwarvern durring the late 13th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Chuq Huz Ckez 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.

Chuq Huz Ckez is is constructed arround a series of restrictive baked earthen mainstreets which form overlapping circles, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to eachother at varrious points. The town has a defencive wall made from large clay bricks. The wall is constructed to the exact specifications of millitary fortifications, but the nature of its clay brick construction leaves it vulnerable to even outdated siege equipment. That said, the town is well defended against anything short of an army. Chuq Huz Ckez's brittle 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.

A look around Chuq Huz Ckez seems to be home to a quite vibrant and boisterous community. Everywhere one looks they can see people going out their daily business with a smile and a spring in their step. Children play loudly in the streets, causing untold havoc as youth are want and allowed to do. On second glance, that chaos continues into adulthood. 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

Chuq Huz Ckez's bank was built using a different architectural style from the rest of the town. The style used is best known for its functional shapes, abstract shapes used sparingly for decor, simple color schemes, holistic design, and basic industrial materials. Its simple designs were created to be beautiful, functional, and mass-producible. The style used little to no embellishment or ornamentation, instead drawing attention to the streamlined design, such as flat roofs to create a simple, geometric look. The simplicity masks the style's nearly sinister functionality, as every last feature is designed to guide the people living in the building in how to make the most efficient use of the structure.

Due to the actions of local Kami, spring is recurring in Chuq Huz Ckez.

The Phase Flea near Chuq Huz Ckez are known to be quite timid.

Chuq Huz Ckez's citizens partake in a curious ritual relating to their local kami. It takes place in winter and involves sacrificing an animal to channel Chronomancy energies of tier 2 via moments of science.
