Overview

Fêth-iki Bî was founded durring the early 11th century, by Shîlî Brêyêv. The establishment of Fêth-iki Bî was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Fêth-iki Bî's construction back out of the project. Shîlî Brêyêv pushed on reguardles, and Fêth-iki Bî was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Fêth-iki Bî was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 11th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Fêth-iki Bî is no diffrent. The town'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.

Fêth-iki Bî is is constructed arround a semi-circular crampt cobblestone mainstreet, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to eachother at varrious points. The town rests behind the absurdity that is a thick, timber braced, wall made of clay bricks. While visualy impressive and certainly an astetic, Fêth-iki Bî's wall provides no actual defence against siege equipment due to the choice of its cosntruction materials. Even nonexperts can tell the town is trying to impress rather than defend with its walls, towers, and gatehouses. Though admittedly, they do look nice... To primitive tribals who have never seen fortifications before. The political statment focused walls has suffered a visible ammount of structural damage, leaving them effectivly useless. One can't help but wonder why the has not yet effected repairs.

A look around Fêth-iki Bî gives the unmistakable impression the town is one of the strictest places imaginable. Everyone’s actions are clearly directed by laws they keep in heart and mind at all times. Orderly byond order is a phrase which Fêth-iki Bî brings to mind.
