Overview

G̈î-siyê Dêtîkè was founded durring the early 16th century in winter of the year 1549, by Khîb Tsmëmesmë. The establishment of G̈î-siyê Dêtîkè was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding G̈î-siyê Dêtîkè's construction back out of the project. Khîb Tsmëmesmë pushed on reguardles, and G̈î-siyê Dêtîkè was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

G̈î-siyê Dêtîkè was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 16th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and G̈î-siyê Dêtîkè is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature waddle and daub construction with good timber frames and a stone foundation protected by thatched or shingled rooves. Most buildings with second floors are built in such a way as to overhang into the streets on the upper floors for more space, as building size seems to be the primary indicator of wealth within the community. Most buildings are not decorated with any integral features, but instead use ivy, flowers, and other natural elements in planters of on trellices to breathe life into the structure they grow upon.

G̈î-siyê Dêtîkè is was constructed arround several restrictive canals 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 town 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. Unfortuantly, these millitarily questionable fortifications are in extreem disrepair, so much so that one cannot tell if they are decaying from a lack of mantance or damage incured.

Before you’ve even set foot into the heart of G̈î-siyê Dêtîkè, you can smell it. The incense. It hangs about the town like a cloud. Monks, priests, and clerics are everywhere, all dedicated to the same divine, all performing the same rituals to bless and anoint buildings, streets, people, animals, you name it they are or have blessed it. The same holy symbol is everywhere too. Its on buildings, on people, and even branded into livestock. This certainly loves its divine. Asside form the revrent worship, you can see the citizens are preparing for something, and that something isn’t good. Weapons are worn openly. Defensive structures have been recently constructed to guard less used areas of the town. Merchants seem very eager to sell their wares at discount prices. Something is coming.

Points of Interest

A great magical Working has been a critical part of G̈î-siyê Dêtîkè since its creation, but now it's beginning to decay. It may function only intermittently, now, or its effects may have curdled into something double-edged. The locals have no idea how to fix it, and indeed, it may not be possible to repair it with modern science or sorcery.

Due to a magical anomaly, G̈î-siyê Dêtîkè is directly accessible from a nearby river, despite the lack of a physical connection between the town's pond and the river.

History

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century, G̈î-siyê Dêtîkè was attacked by soldiers from another nation, waging a greater campaign. The details of the conflict are hazy at best due to many conflicting accounts. What is known is G̈î-siyê Dêtîkè lost 132 people, 281 livestock, and 45 buildings. The conflict ended after roughly 169, when members of G̈î-siyê Dêtîkè's militia enacted an operation to rescue a specific expert from the enemy. The operation was complicated by an outbreak of plague which struck the ranks, killing many and laying low many more. The conflict ended with pitched battle between both forces, which ended in defeat for G̈î-siyê Dêtîkè's forces. The war is remembered in legend by G̈î-siyê Dêtîkè's bards, historians, and legend keepers.
