Overview

Darênê-cîbî Bî was founded durring the early 18th century in late fall of the year 1716, by Thil Tshesh. The establishment of Darênê-cîbî Bî was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Darênê-cîbî Bî's construction back out of the project. Thil Tshesh pushed on reguardles, and Darênê-cîbî Bî was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Darênê-cîbî Bî was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 18th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Darênê-cîbî Bî is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature masoned stone construction which prominantly features pointed arches, pointed ribbed vault cielings, flying buttress', and window tracery all of which share a simmilar gemoetetic patern halfway between organic and inorganic in design formaing a very distinct aesthetically integrated style. BUildings tend to reach for the havens, and more expencive homes are easily identified by their floor count as well as the addition of decorative features intigrated into the building's design such as statues, gargoyals, and embelished joinery.

Darênê-cîbî Bî is buildings are arranged arrounded highly ordered system of broad cobblestone streets which form octogonal 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 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specifications of millitary fortifications, but the nature of its clay brick construction leaves it vulnerable to even outdated siege equipment.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. The town's brittle defences are visibly old, but also obviously maintained semi-regularly. Its likly the local malishia or garrison are tasked with ocasional mantance of the towns defences.

A look around Darênê-cîbî Bî gives you an uneasy feeling. Everything is just a little too worn down, a little too dirty, or both. No one makes eye contact. Kids play quietly, but happily. Occasionally a passerby glances at you out of the corner of their eye, staring just long enough for it to be uncomfortable. This all rests atop the unmistakable impression the town is one of the strictest places imaginable. Everyone’s actions are clearly directed by laws they keep in heart and mind at all times. Orderly byond order is a phrase which Darênê-cîbî Bî brings to mind.
