The town rests behind a thick wall made from clay bricks. The wall has all of the proper fortifications and is well made.

In need of absoutly nothing, and ready to serve the town as needed.

Cultural Notes

The locals are in a state of despair and dull apathy.

No one really believes the future can be better, and most seek only to satisfy immediate appetites.

Fìkh Văjĭ Ægye's town hall was built using a different architectural style from the rest of the town. The style used is best known for its functional shapes, abstract shapes used sparingly for decor, simple color schemes, holistic design, and basic industrial materials. Its simple designs were created to be beautiful, functional, and mass-producible. The style used little to no embellishment or ornamentation, instead drawing attention to the streamlined design, such as flat roofs to create a simple, geometric look. The simplicity masks the style's nearly sinister functionality, as every last feature is designed to guide the people living in the building in how to make the most efficient use of the structure.
