Overview
Ē̌ler Váynerä Gaw̋lē was founded durring the early 13th century in summer of the year 1150, by Bēkīb Mboīkī 'Robbi Sativa' Cú̄b Mb̪f̄kī̌ Vú̄̄̄ Ra̋ńnḱ Ca̋nvéch. The establishment of Ē̌ler Váynerä Gaw̋lē was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Ē̌ler Váynerä Gaw̋lē's construction back out of the project. Bēkīb Mboīkī 'Robbi Sativa' Cú̄b Mb̪f̄kī̌ Vú̄̄̄ Ra̋ńnḱ Ca̋nvéch pushed on reguardles, and Ē̌ler Váynerä Gaw̋lē was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.
Ē̌ler Váynerä Gaw̋lē was built using the conventions of Goblin durring the early 13th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Ē̌ler Váynerä Gaw̋lē is no diffrent. The city's buildings feature plaster covered brick construction taking the shape of large simple gemometric shapes which ate then embelished with decorative features, but retain their simple shapes in spite of the added features such as pillars, faccaddes, and covered walkways. The blocky nature gives a general impression of extreem age, as if each structure has existed since time immemorial.
Ē̌ler Váynerä Gaw̋lē is is constructed arround a series of narrow packed earth mainstreets which form overlapping circles, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to eachother at varrious points. The city is defended by arcane means. It's hard to spot at first, but there's a tell tell shimmer in the air arround Ē̌ler Váynerä Gaw̋lē, and you can spot the ocasional warding glyph carved into a rock or tree all arround town. These mystical defences are ancient, unknowable, and unassailable by current means... Assuming everything is in working order. Otherwise, the wards are little more than a deathtrap. The city's Relic of the World That Was have recently undergone extensive repairs and renovations, such that the repairwork is imeadiently apparent and can be spotted due to the diffring ages of materials. One can't help but wonder what brought the need for those repairs to the city.
A look around Ē̌ler Váynerä Gaw̋lē has something terribly wrong with it. It’s impossible to put one’s finger on, but something is horribly wrong. Maybe it’s the way fog blankets the ground, but only in the connors of places. Maybe it’s the vermin scuttling between shadows in the corner of your eyes. Perhaps it’s the overcast sky which seemed to creep out of nowhere, or the distant howling of wolves. 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. People seem to be allowed to do as they please with little harmoney to anything. It feels less like a city, and more like a spot people just happened to place their homes. Regardless, you do not feel it would be wise to remain in Ē̌ler Váynerä Gaw̋lē long.
