Overview

Kèr Bābwisàs was founded durring the early 10th century, by Yoúr Cûfé̄ 'Coco Naughty' Cúchī̄s Ha̋chīnḱ Hā̋ch Wales. The establishment of the new community went well, though many minor issues had to be solved as time went on. This was enough to delay construction and push back the formal opening ceramony, leading to some embarisment for Yoúr Cûfé̄ 'Coco Naughty' Cúchī̄s Ha̋chīnḱ Hā̋ch Wales.

Kèr Bābwisàs was built using the conventions of Tauric durring the early 10th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Kèr Bābwisàs 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.

Kèr Bābwisàs is is constructed arround a series of narrow paverstone mainstreets which form concentric circles, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to each other at varrious points. 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 While it would last against a siege, the wall's outdated and simplistic construction method percludes the possability of Kèr Bābwisàs weathering a full scale bombardment durring a siege. Astonishigly, the budget focused millitary grade defenses are in pristine condishion, as if they had just been finished before you laied eyes upon them.

Kèr Bābwisàs 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. You get the terrible feeling that whatever it was, the wound it left will simply never heal. This town is as a necropolice.

Almost every community has some problem with bandits and highwaymen, but Kèr Bābwisàs 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.
