Overview
Frëtbë Fros Kez was founded durring the early 14th century in winter of the year 1320, by Glëkado Eenzin Birimo. The establishment of Frëtbë Fros Kez was only bairly constructed.

Glëkado Eenzin Birimo pushed on reguardles, and Frëtbë Fros Kez was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

The town's buildings feature masoned stone construction which prominantly features pointed arches, pointed ribbed vault cielings, flying buttress', and window tracery all of which share a simmilar gemoetetic patern halfway between organic and inorganic in design formaing a very distinct aesthetically integrated style. BUildings tend to reach for the havens, and more expencive homes are easily identified by their floor count as well as the addition of decorative features intigrated into the building's design such as statues, gargoyals, and embelished joinery.
Frëtbë Fros Kez is buildings have been located at convienant points along the rivers Frëtbë Fros Kez was built upon. Navigating the town is therefore a little chalanging as the distance between buildings verris greatly and the broad cobblestone streets flow where they are able to be made rather than folowing the most convienant paths. The town is protected by a well-crafted cobblestone fence tall enough to provide adiquite cover for defenders to fire from, but no more than that. The town's frontieer-style defences have recently undergone extensive repairs and renovations, such that the repairwork is imeadiently apparent and can be spotted due to the diffring ages of materials. One can't help but wonder what brought the need for those repairs to the town.
Frëtbë Fros Kez 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 Frëtbë Fros Kez ’s existence has dried up and the town is drifting down the stream of history as it dries up.

Old patterns of authority and wealth are being disrupted, and the old gentry are unlikely to be pleased about it. They may be trying to take over the industry, or they may have been the ones to enable it in the first place and are using it to crush the life out of any rival power bases.

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the early 2nd century a local hero by the name of saved most of the town when a natural disaster struck Frëtbë Fros Kez. A small order of knights was founded in 's honor, and bears his name to this day.
