Overview

G̈êgî-yafëg̈a Dêtîkè was founded durring the late 10th century, by Gelë Tresh. The establishment of the new community went well, though many minor issues had to be solved as time went on.

The ocasional smaller block has been used to construct a park, plaza, and other communal structures. The town is protected by a humble stone fence which is tall enough to provide adiquite cover for defenders to fire from, but no more than that. G̈êgî-yafëg̈a Dêtîkè's peasent-grade has sufferd soem light damage, reducing its function a little in some spots, but could almsot certainly preform as expected... Though some of the worse spots could lead to the loss of defenders lives if attackers identified the weaknesses ahead of time.
