Overview

G̈mthê-dedocè Fêqê was founded durring the late 17th century in early summer of the year 1658, by Zlkèdo Tresê. The establishment of the new community went well, though many minor issues had to be solved as time went on. This was enough to delay construction and push back the formal opening ceramony, leading to some embarisment for Zlkèdo Tresê.

G̈mthê-dedocè Fêqê was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the late 17th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and G̈mthê-dedocè Fêqê 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.

G̈mthê-dedocè Fêqê is buildings are located arround a single crampt gravel mainstreet which forms a clockwise spiral to give the town a over all circular shape. The town is protected by a renforced stone fence which sits atop earthwork defences, for some of the best inexpencive defences a town of G̈mthê-dedocè Fêqê's size could have. Unfortuantly, these well-designed, yet cheep are in extreem disrepair, so much so that one cannot tell if they are decaying from a lack of mantance or damage incured.

G̈mthê-dedocè Fêqê has the unmistakable air of a town 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 G̈mthê-dedocè Fêqê ’s existence has dried up and the town is drifting down the stream of history as it dries up.

Points of Interest

History

A vast influx of newcomers over the last (24674 % 6)+1 years has greatly spiked G̈mthê-dedocè Fêqê's population. They may have been drawn by economic opportunities, or fled some pursuing peril, or been forcibly moved there by a ruler who wanted to dilute the existing native cohesion. The natives may not have the resources or opportunities to integrate these newcomers, and it may be that the new population has no desire to stay longer than is necessary.

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century the Kami spared the town from the rampage of a legendary monster. One of G̈mthê-dedocè Fêqê's local festivals commemorates this miracle.
