Overview

Gi̽ Chyhyiōn Med was founded durring the late 14th century in fall of the year 1255, by Eluned Ghibulduc. The establishment of Gi̽ Chyhyiōn Med was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Gi̽ Chyhyiōn Med's construction back out of the project.

Gi̽ Chyhyiōn Med was built using the conventions of Wood Elven durring the late 14th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Gi̽ Chyhyiōn Med 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.

Gi̽ Chyhyiōn Med is buildings are arranged arround a network of premissive paverstone 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 city rests behind a thick wall made from clay bricks. The wall has all of the proper fortifications and is well made. Unfortuantly the nature of clay brick leaves it quite vulnerable to siege equipment, though the thickness of the wall lends it simmilar resistnace to a thinner hardrock wall. Gi̽ Chyhyiōn Med's millitarily questionable fortifications are suffering from significent damage, so much so that examples can be pointed to no matter which section one might have within their line of site, and most of which render sections inoperable at present.

Gi̽ Chyhyiōn Med has the unmistakable air of a city on its last legs. Everything is a bit slipshod and ramshackle. Everyone is at work, or drinking. No one has anything in their eyes other than fear and despair. Whatever industry once fueled Gi̽ Chyhyiōn Med ’s existence has dried up and the city is drifting down the stream of history as it dries up. On top of this is an unmistakable feeling that Gi̽ Chyhyiōn Med is in this condition because there is something terribly wrong with the city. Maybe it’s the way fog blankets the ground, but only in the connors of places. Maybe it’s the vermin scuttling between shadows in the corner of your eyes. Perhaps it’s the overcast sky which seemed to creep out of nowhere, or the distant howling of wolves. Maybe it’s all of those things together, or perhaps it's the way these elements combine which makes you worry someone might stab you in a dark ally for your boots. It’s not filthy, or dark, but the smiles seem strained, the locals seem to glare daggers in eachothers backs a little too much, and everyone is armed at all times. You may want to keep an eye on your valuables, and make sure you don’t wind up in any position of power. Regardless, you do not feel it would be wise to remain in Gi̽ Chyhyiōn Med long.
