Overview

Fìkh Kǐn Dfæls was founded durring the early 14th century in summer of the year 1327, by Rhonda Brepí. The establishment of the new community went well, though many minor issues had to be solved as time went on. This was enough to delay construction and push back the formal opening ceramony, leading to some embarisment for Rhonda Brepí.

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.

Fìkh Kǐn Dfæls is buildings are arranged arround a network of premissive cobblestone streets which form a diamond shaped grid, where each diamond verries in size given the proximity of the paralell streets forming each section. The ocasional smaller diamond has been used to construct a park, plaza, and other communal structures. The town is protected by a renforced stone fence which sits atop earthwork defences, for some of the best inexpencive defences a town of Fìkh Kǐn Dfæls's size could have. The town's well-designed, yet cheep are visibly old, but also obviously maintained semi-regularly. Its likly the local malishia or garrison are tasked with ocasional mantance of the towns defences.

The entire town feels like a library, with those not reading remaining quite to not disturb those who have their nose in a book. The longer you remain in Fìkh Kǐn Dfæls the more you start to wonder if you’ve entered some strange open-concept University rather than a town, but you can’t quite say such with certainty.
