Overview

Jîhe-bëca Fêqê was founded durring the early 12th century in fall of the year 1123, by Shêbë Trëmê. The establishment of Jîhe-bëca Fêqê suffered from many setbacks, delays, and obsticles, most notably a group of Jîhe-bëca Fêqê which required millitary assistance exterminate before the community could finish being built.

Jîhe-bëca Fêqê was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Jîhe-bëca Fêqê 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.

Jîhe-bëca Fêqê is buildings are speckled and packed arround restrictive flagstone streets with seemingly no patern to them. It appears as if the town's residents simply built streets as they pleased and squeazed buildings in wherever and howeave rpossible, creating an organic, frustrating to navigate, maze of a town. The town rests behind a thick wall made from clay bricks. The wall has all of the proper fortifications and is well made. Unfortuantly the nature of clay brick leaves it quite vulnerable to siege equipment, though the thickness of the wall lends it simmilar resistnace to a thinner hardrock wall. Jîhe-bëca Fêqê's millitarily questionable fortifications are in an unremarkable state. To some, this is the ideal sate for defences to be in. In need of absoutly nothing, and ready to serve the town as needed.

Jîhe-bëca Fêqê is not quite well. Something happened here, perhapse recently, perhapse long ago. Whatever it was, it settled into the very soul of the town 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.

History

Almost every community has some problem with bandits and highwaymen, but Jîhe-bëca Fêqê is seriously plagued with raiders. One or more groups of persistent plunderers are hitting the community repeatedly, and they lack the necessary resources to fend them off or protect all their holdings.

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the early 2nd century the Kami ended a famine plaguing Jîhe-bëca Fêqê. One of Jîhe-bëca Fêqê's local festivals commemorates this miracle.
