Overview

Híhqíhkniv Se was founded durring the late 9th century, by Êyèdsm Iwan. The establishment of Híhqíhkniv Se was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Híhqíhkniv Se's construction back out of the project. Êyèdsm Iwan pushed on reguardles, and Híhqíhkniv Se was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Híhqíhkniv Se was built using the conventions of Tauric durring the late 9th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Híhqíhkniv Se is no diffrent. The town'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.

Híhqíhkniv Se is buildings are arranged arrounded a highly ordered system of restrictive packed earth 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 town posesses a mighty albit amaturly crafted stone wall. It was built using querried stone blocks and posesses all of the standard defencive features, including a few watch towers. While it would last against a siege, the wall's outdated and simplistic construction method percludes the possability of Híhqíhkniv Se weathering a full scale bombardment durring a siege. The budget focused millitary grade defenses has suffered a visible ammount of structural damage, leaving them effectivly useless. One can't help but wonder why the has not yet effected repairs.

Híhqíhkniv Se 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 Híhqíhkniv Se ’s existence has dried up and the town is drifting down the stream of history as it dries up. The people are clearly worried about something, and everyone is either wearing a weapon or has one close at hand. Your gut tells you it’s not mere fate which has caused this town to begin failing...
