Overview

E̜ Ia Ner was founded durring the early 12th century in spring of the year 1105, by Cheryl Khunromud. The establishment of E̜ Ia Ner was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding E̜ Ia Ner's construction back out of the project. Cheryl Khunromud pushed on reguardles, and E̜ Ia Ner was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

E̜ Ia Ner was built using the conventions of Wood Elven durring the early 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and E̜ Ia Ner 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.

E̜ Ia Ner is is constructed arround a series of narrow gravel mainstreets which form concentric circles, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to each other at varrious points. The town is the proud owner of a thick set of fortified walls fashioned from querried stone blocks. While not up to snuff for a fort or castle wall, the town's walls are naturaly much larger than those of forts or castles. Therefore, the construction such a wall is most expencive. E̜ Ia Ner's buget focused wall would serve its community well in battle in spite of looking unimpressive compared to castles and fortresses. E̜ Ia Ner's top tier civilian fortifications 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 town as needed.

A look around E̜ Ia Ner 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 scutteling 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. Maybe it’s everything together. Regardless, you do not feel it would be wise to remain in E̜ Ia Ner long.
