Overview

Ja̋ymí̂ Ńerä Ni̋ēkēä was founded durring the early 11th century, by Isabel Micah Sam. The establishment of Ja̋ymí̂ Ńerä Ni̋ēkēä was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Ja̋ymí̂ Ńerä Ni̋ēkēä's construction back out of the project. Isabel Micah Sam pushed on reguardles, and Ja̋ymí̂ Ńerä Ni̋ēkēä was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Ja̋ymí̂ Ńerä Ni̋ēkēä was built using the conventions of Goblin durring the early 11th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Ja̋ymí̂ Ńerä Ni̋ēkēä 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.

Ja̋ymí̂ Ńerä Ni̋ēkēä is buildings are arranged arrounded a highly ordered system of restrictive carved bedrock 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 city rests behind a thin stone wall. The wall's design was likly directly copied from a castle's parmiter defences. It's simply that the arcatect made Ja̋ymí̂ Ńerä Ni̋ēkēä's wall substancialy thinner than a castle's walls. While the towers and gatehouses are adiquite, the obvious cost savings measure of making the walls drasticaly thinner reduces their ability to resist siege weapons greatly. The city's impressive-looking wall could fail at a critical moment in battle, and would likely not even resist a few bandits with improvised siege equipment. Ja̋ymí̂ Ńerä Ni̋ēkēä's budget oriented 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.

Ja̋ymí̂ Ńerä Ni̋ēkēä 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.
