Overview

Gyì Wìmèkhì Mil was founded durring the late 15th century in summer of the year 1375, by Bíriel Glegfeshe. The establishment of Gyì Wìmèkhì Mil was plagued by a lack of willing colonists. After attempts to pay people to resettle failed Bíriel Glegfeshe struck deals with nearby nations and communities to establish Gyì Wìmèkhì Mil as a prison colony.

Gyì Wìmèkhì Mil was built using the conventions of Constructi durring the late 15th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Gyì Wìmèkhì Mil 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.

Gyì Wìmèkhì Mil is buildings are arranged arrounded a highly ordered system of broad paverstone streets which form triangular paterns, allowing the incides of the octagons to be common grounds for the buildings on the edges, be it for parkland, yardspace, plazas, or markets. The city resides behind a palisade wall complete with battlments, a moat, and timber gatehouses with drawbridges. Gyì Wìmèkhì Mil's robustly designed timber walls are in an unremarkable state. To some, this is the ideal sate for defences to be in. In need of absoutly nothing, and ready to serve the city as needed.

A quick look in any direction shows Gyì Wìmèkhì Mil is filled with vices. There are many taverns, brothels are advertising their services on the streets, cardsharks are plying their illicit trade within public squairs, and every shop has at least three signs advertising various sales on goods. That alone wouldn’t be too noticeable, if it wasn’t just so omnipresent and overwhelmingly how the people of this city live. Or if the general public wasn’t so enthusiastically, openly, and merrily participating in these activities.
