Overview
Faw̄ Sá̂zy Nêōw was founded durring the early 13th century in fall of the year 1226, by Mp̪ftó̄̋g Rē̄ 'Aura Cayla' Mboida̋ch Da̋ch Joī́̄̋ch. The establishment of Faw̄ Sá̂zy Nêōw was plagued by a lack of willing colonists. After attempts to pay people to resettle failed Mp̪ftó̄̋g Rē̄ 'Aura Cayla' Mboida̋ch Da̋ch Joī́̄̋ch struck deals with nearby nations and communities to establish Faw̄ Sá̂zy Nêōw as a prison colony.
Faw̄ Sá̂zy Nêōw was built using the conventions of Hobgoblin durring the early 13th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Faw̄ Sá̂zy Nêōw is no diffrent. The town'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.
Faw̄ Sá̂zy Nêōw is was constructed arround several broad cobblestone mainstreets which cross one another at certain axies, with smaller streets branching off of them to premit acess to the many buildings deeper into the road network. The overall fashion is remenessent of a circulatory system, or other organic construct, and is quite effishent in its design. The town lacks any defencive features, though certainly constructing even a simple fence or digging a ditch is at the forefront of the 's mind. At least, one would hope so.
Your first impression of Faw̄ Sá̂zy Nêōw proves to be right on the money. This town is where the rebels chose to settle. Fashion trends are quite simply the opposite of what’s popular in the other nearby communities. THis trend extends everywhere. Things that should be black are white, what would normally be square is organically curved, and what is typically unthinkable for polite society is more than welcome in this public square. Up to the logical limits, of course. There’s no flaying someone alive to eat their skin going on, but the women are dressed a little immodestly, the men are a little more emotional, and the food is all overly complex and terrible.

Faw̄ Sá̂zy Nêōw's garrison 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.

Points of Interest
Faw̄ Sá̂zy Nêōw's roads were poorly made when first laid.

The locals often repair the road by putting down wooden decking.
POI
History
In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century after an anomalously snowy winter, runoff from snow-melt caused Pond Pulicat to overflow its banks and spill into Backwater Arching. The resulting flood was isolated to the area around Faw̄ Sá̂zy Nêōw, which was swallowed by the waters for several days. Faw̄ Sá̂zy Nêōw lost 279 people, 329 livestock, and 45 buildings in the disaster. The disaster is remembered as the Doom Drownings.
