Overview

Jênoze-g̈êi Fêqê was founded durring the late 9th century, by Scarab Beetle Swarm Fyênm. The establishment of Jênoze-g̈êi Fêqê was somewhat plagued by a lack of willing colonists, leading to Scarab Beetle Swarm Fyênm electing to pay people to resettle in Jênoze-g̈êi Fêqê.

Jênoze-g̈êi Fêqê was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the late 9th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Jênoze-g̈êi 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.

Jênoze-g̈êi Fêqê is buildings are arranged arround a network of spacious gravel streets which form a diamond shaped grid, where each diamond verries in size given the proximity of the paralell streets forming each section. The ocasional smaller diamond has been used to construct a park, plaza, and other communal structures. The town has a defencive wall made from querried stone. The wall is equipped with a full set of battlments but the nature of its construction methodology leaves it somewhat vulnerable to siege equipment. That said, the town is well defended against anything short of an army. The town's cost-cutting-focused defences are visibly old, but also obviously maintained semi-regularly. Its likly the local malishia or garrison are tasked with ocasional mantance of the towns defences.

A look around Jênoze-g̈êi Fêqê gives you an uneasy feeling. Everything is just a little too worn down, a little too dirty, or both. No one makes eye contact. Kids play quietly, but happily. Occasionally a passerby glances at you out of the corner of their eye, staring just long enough for it to be uncomfortable. A second look around Jênoze-g̈êi Fêqê makes it abundantly clear the town suffered something horrible some time ago. It's as if the town itself is depressed. Smiles are few, cheer is nowhere to be had.
