Overview

Fëg-shogîê Fêqê was founded durring the late 12th century in winter of the year 1088, by Esgarbes Trîbmênm Tsîv. The establishment of Fëg-shogîê Fêqê was plagued by a lack of willing colonists. After attempts to pay people to resettle failed Esgarbes Trîbmênm Tsîv struck deals with nearby nations and communities to establish Fëg-shogîê Fêqê as a prison colony.

Fëg-shogîê Fêqê was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the late 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Fëg-shogîê Fêqê 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.

Fëg-shogîê Fêqê is buildings have been located at convienant points along the valley Fëg-shogîê Fêqê was built upon. Navigating the town is therefore a little chalanging as the distance between buildings verris greatly and the crampt baked earthen streets flow where they are able to be made rather than folowing the most convienant paths. 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. Astonishigly, the millitarily questionable fortifications are in pristine condishion, as if they had just been finished before you laied eyes upon them.

A look around Fëg-shogîê Fêqê gives you an uneasy feeling. 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 jsut long enough for it to be uncomfortable.

Cultural Notes

Religious leaders are influential in almost any community, but in Fëg-shogîê Fêqê they make up the final authorities. It may be an explicit theocracy, with rule by the clerics of a particular faith, or a temple might be so important and powerful that the official leaders are helpless to resist its will. The locals can be expected to be loyal adherents to the faith, or else the less pious majority is deeply intimidated by the religion’s believers.

Fëg-shogîê Fêqê's town hall was built using a different architectural style from the rest of the town. The style used embraces individualism and experimentation. It emerged as a movement against traditional, classical styles and sought to make buildings dynamic and fun while breaking the rules. The style incorporated elements of previous architectural styles in exaggerated and whimsical ways. Traditional, conservative leanings were void in this era, with most scholars of architecture agreeing it was a time of “anything goes.”.

In Fëg-shogîê Fêqê every night at precisely midnight every structure in town is engulfed by sailors fire until the end of the witching hour.

Fëg-shogîê Fêqê's citizens partake in a curious ritual relating to their local kami. It takes place in autumn and involves ritual combat to channel Mysticism energies of tier 3 via mimery.
