Overview

Dâgâ Kîchyà Kâchyâ was founded durring the late 16th century in spring of the year 1466, by Tshelêd. The establishment of Dâgâ Kîchyà Kâchyâ was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Dâgâ Kîchyà Kâchyâ's construction back out of the project. Tshelêd pushed on reguardles, and Dâgâ Kîchyà Kâchyâ was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Dâgâ Kîchyà Kâchyâ was built using the conventions of Rattu durring the late 16th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Dâgâ Kîchyà Kâchyâ is no diffrent. The city'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.

Dâgâ Kîchyà Kâchyâ is buildings have been located at convienant points along the cliff Dâgâ Kîchyà Kâchyâ was built upon. Navigating the town is therefore a little chalanging as the distance between buildings verris greatly and the narrow packed earth streets flow where they are able to be made rather than folowing the most convienant paths. The city rests behind the absurdity that is a thick, timber braced, wall made of clay bricks. While visualy impressive and certainly an astetic, Dâgâ Kîchyà Kâchyâ's wall provides no actual defence against siege equipment due to the choice of its cosntruction materials. Even nonexperts can tell the town is trying to impress rather than defend with its walls, towers, and gatehouses. Though admittedly, they do look nice... To primitive tribals who have never seen fortifications before. Dâgâ Kîchyà Kâchyâ's political statment focused walls 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 quick look in any direction shows Dâgâ Kîchyà Kâchyâ is filled with vices. There are many taverns, brothels are advertising their services on the streets, cardsharks are plying their illicit trade within public squairs, and every shop has at least three signs advertising various sales on goods. That alone wouldn’t be too noticeable, if it wasn’t just so omnipresent and overwhelmingly how the people of this city live.

Cultural Notes

A substantial minority of the locals are descended from foreigners alien to their local neighbors. They may have been religious exiles, economic migrants, indigenous locals surrounded by the existing polity, or a foreign settlement conquered within the relatively recent past. The locals may not be enthusiastic about being ruled by others not of their kind, and their neighbors may look askance at the way foreign customs or even laws may be maintained.

Dâgâ Kîchyà Kâchyâ's mayor's house was built using a different architectural style from the rest of the town. The style used is known primarily for its use of abstraction and simplicity. Clean lines, right angles, and primary colors characterized this aesthetic and art movement expressed via architecture and paintings. Its design ethos allows only primary colors and non-colors, only squares and rectangles, only straight and horizontal or vertical lines. Vertical and horizontal lines are positioned in layers or planes that do not intersect, thereby allowing each element to exist independently and unobstructed by other elements. These seemingly impossible principals for an architectural style coalesces into structures which most experts find hard to put into words. It is not that their geometry is impossible, but rather the style's attempt at producing works only describable visually was most successful..

History

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the early 2nd century a great windstorm struck Dâgâ Kîchyà Kâchyâ. Its winds were so great they picked up unsecured objects and flung them with enough force to smash brick and skull alike. Buildings collapsed under the gale, burying countless people alive. The storm's devistation was focused on the area arround Dâgâ Kîchyà Kâchyâ, which lost 231 people, 385, and 70 livestock in the disaster.. History remembers the strom as The Storm of Calamity.
