Overview

Gêj-g̈oêyî Fêqê was founded durring the early 17th century in early winter of the year 1615, by Gadsênkdsm Shesî. The establishment of Gêj-g̈oêyî Fêqê was plagued by a lack of willing colonists. After attempts to pay people to resettle failed Gadsênkdsm Shesî struck deals with nearby nations and communities to establish Gêj-g̈oêyî Fêqê as a prison colony.

Gêj-g̈oêyî Fêqê was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 17th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Gêj-g̈oêyî Fêqê is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature timber and earth construction, with most buildigns first floors resembling mounds of earth, with subsequent floors appearing as elaborate log cabins, with each building forming a tiered pyramid of sorts fromed from the stack of rectangular, peek roofed cabins. Most wooden bracing, support, and trim is carved with decorative knotwork, and the larger structures even feature painted trim which emphasises the knotwork.

Gêj-g̈oêyî Fêqê is buildings are arranged arround a network of premissive flagstone streets which form a diagonal shaped grid, where each square verries in size given the proximity of the paralell streets forming each section. The ocasional smaller square has been used to construct a park, plaza, and other communal structures. The town posesses a fortified albit thin wall of querried stone. This wall posesses most of the features of a castle wall, though it is constructed from cheeper inferior stone. It would pose a minor chalange for an attacking army, though it's clear the wall's true purpose is to crush the hopes of bandits and marauders. Unfortuantly, these failry decent fortifications are in extreem disrepair, so much so that one cannot tell if they are decaying from a lack of mantance or damage incured.

Your first impression of Gêj-g̈oêyî Fêqê proves to be right on the money. This town is where the rebels chose to settle. Fashion trends are quite simply the opposite of what’s popular in the other nearby communities. THis trend extends everywhere. Things that should be black are white, what would normally be square is organically curved, and what is typically unthinkable for polite society is more than welcome in this public square. Up to the logical limits, of course. There’s no flaying someone alive to eat their skin going on, but the women are dressed a little immodestly, the men are a little more emotional, and the food is all overly complex and terrible.
