Overview

Dèci-yabê Bî was founded durring the late 16th century in spring of the year 1494, by Persis Trgado. The establishment of Dèci-yabê Bî was somewhat plagued by a lack of willing colonists, leading to Persis Trgado electing to pay people to resettle in Dèci-yabê Bî.

Dèci-yabê Bî was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the late 16th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Dèci-yabê Bî 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.

Dèci-yabê Bî is buildings have been located at convienant points along the cliff Dèci-yabê Bî was built upon. Navigating the town is therefore a little chalanging as the distance between buildings verris greatly and the spacious cobblestone streets flow where they are able to be made rather than folowing the most convienant paths. The town sits behind a stone-renforced palisade wall, with stone gatehouses and timber drawbridges for their trench. Dèci-yabê Bî's would-be-castle fortifications 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 Dèci-yabê Bî is like looking into a university’s plaza on the day before an exam. People rush about to-and-fro. Discarded scrolls and quills are dotted around town. In spite of many locals discussing academic topics, there’s little sign of any organized groups for any of that talk. Infact, the town seems disordered in general with everything scattered helter skelter about.

Cultural Notes

Dèci-yabê Bî's garrison was built using a different architectural style from the rest of the town. The style used is characterized by dynamic designs and complex architectural plan forms; intended to heighten feelings of motion and sensuality, and frequently based on the oval. It made extensive and extreme use of: Grandeur, Contrast, Curves and twists, Rich surface treatments, Gilded statuary, Bright colors, Vividly painted ceilings, Fragmented or deliberately incomplete elements, Large-scale frescoes, Dramatic central projections on an external facade, the use of plaster, stucco, or marble finishing, Illusory effects such as trompe l’oeil, and pear-shaped domes. While beloved by the nobility, the common folk tended to despise the style due to the massive consumption of resources required for even a small building constructed in this style.

The Snake, Venomous near Dèci-yabê Bî are known to be almost tame, such that they can be put to domestic use.

Dèci-yabê Bî's citizens partake in a curious ritual relating to their local kami. It takes place in autumn and involves gestures to channel Charm energies of tier 1 via chanting.

Points of Interest

History

A vast influx of newcomers over the last (3713 % 6)+1 years has greatly spiked Dèci-yabê Bî's population. They may have been drawn by economic opportunities, or fled some pursuing peril, or been forcibly moved there by a ruler who wanted to dilute the existing native cohesion. The natives may not have the resources or opportunities to integrate these newcomers, and it may be that the new population has no desire to stay longer than is necessary.

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the early 2nd century the Kami blessed the town with wealth for a year and a day. One of Dèci-yabê Bî's local festivals commemorates this miracle.
