Overview

Gē̌tḩ Fôry Ni̋ēkēä was founded durring the late 12th century in spring of the year 1094, by Giant Emperor Scorpions Drain Spiders Monstrous Crabs. The establishment of Gē̌tḩ Fôry Ni̋ēkēä was somewhat plagued by a lack of willing colonists, leading to Giant Emperor Scorpions Drain Spiders Monstrous Crabs electing to pay people to resettle in Gē̌tḩ Fôry Ni̋ēkēä.

Gē̌tḩ Fôry Ni̋ēkēä was built using the conventions of Goblin durring the late 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Gē̌tḩ Fôry Ni̋ēkēä is no diffrent. The city's buildings feature timber framed wooden shiethed or brick construction, which gives form to a very formalized, rational, expence effishent arcatectural style based on strictly symmetrical designs which universaly feature pitched roofs, shutters, and the occasional column or pilaster for a decorative touch.

Gē̌tḩ Fôry Ni̋ēkēä is was constructed arround several crampt flagstone mainstreets which cross one another at certain axies, with smaller streets branching off of them to premit acess to the many buildings deeper into the road network. The overall fashion is remenessent of a circulatory system, or other organic construct, and is quite effishent in its design. The city rests behind a thin stone wall. The wall's design was likly directly copied from a castle's parmiter defences. It's simply that the arcatect made Gē̌tḩ Fôry Ni̋ēkēä's wall substancialy thinner than a castle's walls. While the towers and gatehouses are adiquite, the obvious cost savings measure of making the walls drasticaly thinner reduces their ability to resist siege weapons greatly. The city's impressive-looking wall could fail at a critical moment in battle, and would likely not even resist a few bandits with improvised siege equipment. The budget oriented has suffered a visible ammount of structural damage, leaving them effectivly useless. One can't help but wonder why the has not yet effected repairs.

I(devise not only the curse, but the reason why the locals haven't left for better lands).
