Overview

Ênë-vêko Bî was founded durring the late 16th century in spring of the year 1477, by Vú̄boīy Cónḱ 'Nicole Glaze' Mp̪fé̄sh Vúchvē̌ Ermp̪f̄ Tsîpî. The establishment of Ênë-vêko Bî was plagued by a lack of willing colonists. After attempts to pay people to resettle failed Vú̄boīy Cónḱ 'Nicole Glaze' Mp̪fé̄sh Vúchvē̌ Ermp̪f̄ Tsîpî struck deals with nearby nations and communities to establish Ênë-vêko Bî as a prison colony.

Ênë-vêko Bî was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the late 16th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Ênë-vêko Bî is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature delicute timber framework hidden behind layer upon layer of finly ground plaster bleached to an almost glossy white sheen, with green clay tiled roofs and decorative brass-leafed trim. Even the smallest, poorest looking structures appear to be expencive thanks to the extreem elegence of the organic shapes and paterns going into their lofty, spire-y, vagly gothic designs. The more well off folks live in identicle homes, save for even shiner trim and a more whimsical appearance to their structures flowing forms.

Ênë-vêko Bî is buildings have been located at convienant points along the mountain Ênë-vêko Bî 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 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specifications of millitary fortifications, but the nature of its clay brick construction leaves it vulnerable to even outdated siege equipment.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 brittle defences has suffered a visible ammount of structural damage, leaving them effectivly useless. One can't help but wonder why the has not yet effected repairs.

Ênë-vêko Bî 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 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.

Points of Interest

Ênë-vêko Bî is a major trade hub, connecting several important cities or resource production areas. It’s probably at an important river juncture, ancient crossroads, or occupying the only safe path through some perilous wilderness. Its position may be important enough that it can survive on trade alone, despite being unable to feed itself with the surrounding land. Such hubs are usually heavily garrisoned by the lord who profits from their tariffs and taxes.

History

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the early 2nd century the Kami ended a famine plaguing Ênë-vêko Bî. One of Ênë-vêko Bî's local festivals commemorates this miracle.
