The city'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.

Gegyalàv Gíhm is buildings are speckled and packed arround narrow carved bedrock streets with seemingly no patern to them. It appears as if the city's residents simply built streets as they pleased and squeazed buildings in wherever and howeave rpossible, creating an organic, frustrating to navigate, maze of a city. The city posesses a mighty albit amaturly crafted stone wall. It was built using querried stone blocks and posesses all of the standard defencive features, including a few watch towers. While it would last against a siege, the wall's outdated and simplistic construction method percludes the possability of Gegyalàv Gíhm weathering a full scale bombardment durring a siege.

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

History

Gegyalàv Gíhm is in secret rebellion against their ostensible liege, having cut deals with his enemies, plotted to betray him for their own gain, or bridled under his tyranny and sought a better lord. The community’s leadership is all in on this plot, and outside viceroys or representatives are being kept carefully ignorant of the reality. The common folk may be oblivious to the truth, though they’ll doubtless have felt the same motivations and promptings that convinced their leaders to turn traitor.

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the early 2nd century, Gegyalàv Gíhm was attacked by soldiers from another nation, waging a greater campaign. The details of the conflict are hazy at best due to many conflicting accounts. What is known is Gegyalàv Gíhm lost 225 people, 157 livestock, and 91 buildings. The conflict ended after roughly 150, when members of Gegyalàv Gíhm's militia enacted an operation to bring aid to another fighting force. The operation was complicated by gale force winds which drowned out orders and hampered ranged combat. The conflict ended with pitched battle between both forces, which ended in victory for Gegyalàv Gíhm's forces. The war is remembered in legend by Gegyalàv Gíhm's bards, historians, and legend keepers.
