Overview
Ēji Ngeco-kew was founded durring the late 15th century in fall of the year 1381, by Courtney vyim Yuvnoyutsɪxt vyim Rolɑrtɑeplə˞rd vyim Yuvnotræ̝rg vyim Yuvnoyutsɪxt vyim Glə˞ʤine vyim Rovuldyutsɪxt vyim Fɪgsegraɑgki vyim Roxlendyutsɪxt vyim Yuvnonreys vyim Yuvnonreys vyim Fɪgseʤine vyim Glə˞tunk. The establishment of the new community went well, though many minor issues had to be solved as time went on. This was enough to delay construction and push back the formal opening ceramony, leading to some embarisment for Courtney vyim Yuvnoyutsɪxt vyim Rolɑrtɑeplə˞rd vyim Yuvnotræ̝rg vyim Yuvnoyutsɪxt vyim Glə˞ʤine vyim Rovuldyutsɪxt vyim Fɪgsegraɑgki vyim Roxlendyutsɪxt vyim Yuvnonreys vyim Yuvnonreys vyim Fɪgseʤine vyim Glə˞tunk.
Ēji Ngeco-kew was built using the conventions of Gnollish durring the late 15th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Ēji Ngeco-kew is no diffrent. The metropolis's buildings feature plaster covered brickwork used to form structures with an emphasis on symmetry, proportion, geometry and the regularity of parts. Orderly arrangements of columns, pilasters and lintels, as well as the use of semicircular arches, hemispherical domes, niches and aediculae can be found everywhere such that only size of building and yard can be used to measure the general prosparity of a given building's owners due to a general wealthy feeling the style gives off.
Ēji Ngeco-kew is buildings are located arround a single restrictive canals mainstreet which forms a clockwise spiral to give the metropolis a over all circular shape. The valley metropolis rests behind a thin stone wall. The wall's design was likly directly copied from a castle's parmiter defences. It's simply that the arcatect made Ēji Ngeco-kew's wall substancialy thinner than a castle's walls. While the towers and gatehouses are adiquite, the obvious cost savings measure of making the walls drasticaly thinner reduces their ability to resist siege weapons greatly. The metropolis's impressive-looking wall could fail at a critical moment in battle, and would likely not even resist a few bandits with improvised siege equipment. Ēji Ngeco-kew's budget oriented are in an unremarkable state. To some, this is the ideal sate for defences to be in. In need of absoutly nothing, and ready to serve the metropolis as needed.
A look around Ēji Ngeco-kew shows Ēji Ngeco-kew as a den of corruption. Birbes can be seen changing hands openly, such that it must be customary to do so and must have been for a long time. The locals have no fear, no annoyance at the state of things, it simply is. The metropolis has another layer to it as well. Locals can be overheard having academic discussions, as well as talking about scholarly subjects in general. It’s quite clear Ēji Ngeco-kew places a lot of value on education and being a learned individual, or at least, faking it.

Cultural Notes
Ēji Ngeco-kew's bank was built using a different architectural style from the rest of the town. The style used is admittedly strange and non-linear style rooted in defiance of symmetrical shapes. It championed the creation of buildings with a unique visual appearance. the structural norms of classic buildings and deforms or moves away from elementary architectural principles. By including non-linear designs processed into its buildings and favoring fragmentation, this style expressed a form of controlled chaos. Its buildings appear out-of-the-ordinary, draw the eye in immediately and sometimes create a feeling of strangeness. These distorted shapes and structure are not reserved to the building’s outer facade, they destabilize interior elements too, favoring minimalism and play on people’s perceptions by injecting a futuristic touch.

Ēji Ngeco-kew's citizens partake in a curious ritual relating to their local kami. It takes place in winter and involves consuming a local toxin to channel Invocation energies of tier 3 via chanting.
