Overview

Fêcêtha-këyî Dêtîkè was founded durring the early 15th century in spring of the year 1400, by Grèsi Trêbmtco. The establishment of Fêcêtha-këyî Dêtîkè was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Fêcêtha-këyî Dêtîkè's construction back out of the project. Grèsi Trêbmtco pushed on reguardles, and Fêcêtha-këyî Dêtîkè was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Fêcêtha-këyî Dêtîkè was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 15th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Fêcêtha-këyî Dêtîkè 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.

Fêcêtha-këyî Dêtîkè is is constructed arround a semi-circular narrow cobblestone mainstreet, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to eachother at varrious points. The town rests behind a thick wall made from clay bricks. The wall has all of the proper fortifications and is well made. Unfortuantly the nature of clay brick leaves it quite vulnerable to siege equipment, though the thickness of the wall lends it simmilar resistnace to a thinner hardrock wall. Unfortuantly, these millitarily questionable fortifications are in extreem disrepair, so much so that one cannot tell if they are decaying from a lack of mantance or damage incured.

Fêcêtha-këyî Dêtîkè has the unmistakable air of a town on its last legs. Everything is a bit slipshod and ramshackle. Everyone is at work, or drinking. No one has anything in their eyes other than fear and despair. Whatever industry once fueled Fêcêtha-këyî Dêtîkè ’s existence has dried up and the town is drifting down the stream of history as it dries up. Likely due to this, Fêcêtha-këyî Dêtîkè 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 have homes. One cannot help but wonder what Fêcêtha-këyî Dêtîkè was like during the glorydays.
