Overview

Jajëhi-êrayê Îè was founded durring the early 11th century, by Akdram. The establishment of Jajëhi-êrayê Îè was plagued by a lack of willing colonists. After attempts to pay people to resettle failed Akdram struck deals with nearby nations and communities to establish Jajëhi-êrayê Îè as a prison colony.

Jajëhi-êrayê Îè was built using the conventions of Iron Elvish durring the early 11th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Jajëhi-êrayê Îè is no diffrent. The city's buildings feature delicute timber framework hidden behind layer upon layer of finly ground plaster bleached to an almost glossy white sheen, with green clay tiled roofs and decorative brass-leafed trim. Even the smallest, poorest looking structures appear to be expencive thanks to the extreem elegence of the organic shapes and paterns going into their lofty, spire-y, vagly gothic designs. The more well off folks live in identicle homes, save for even shiner trim and a more whimsical appearance to their structures flowing forms.

Jajëhi-êrayê Îè is buildings have been located at convienant points along the valley Jajëhi-êrayê Îè was built upon. Navigating the town is therefore a little chalanging as the distance between buildings verris greatly and the spacious cobblestone streets flow where they are able to be made rather than folowing the most convienant paths. The city has a fortified albit thin brick wall. The wall has most of the feeatures of a typical castle wall, just on a much smaller scale and and budget. Notably brick isn't a particuarly soild choice for resisting siege weapons. Jajëhi-êrayê Îè's wall wouldn't hinder a proper army, but it is more than sufishent for bandits and other small marauding groups. The monster and outlaw focused fortifications have not been wellmaintained over the years, and while functional are in dire need of some loving care and perhapse light renovation.

Jajëhi-êrayê Îè is not quite well. Something happened here, perhapse recently, perhapse long ago. Whatever it was, it settled into the very soul of the city like a festering wound. The people go about their day well enough, but there’s a tention in the air you can cut with a knife. You get the terrible feeling that whatever it was, the wound it left will simply never heal. This city is as a necropolice.
