Overview

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

Kèr Ftiēbeg was built using the conventions of Tauric durring the early 11th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Kèr Ftiēbeg is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature plaster covered brickwork used to form structures with an emphasis on symmetry, proportion, geometry and the regularity of parts. Orderly arrangements of columns, pilasters and lintels, as well as the use of semicircular arches, hemispherical domes, niches and aediculae can be found everywhere such that only size of building and yard can be used to measure the general prosparity of a given building's owners due to a general wealthy feeling the style gives off.

Kèr Ftiēbeg is buildings are arranged arround a network of spacious cobblestone streets which form a grid, where each square verries in size given the proximity of the paralell streets forming each section. The ocasional smaller square has been used to construct a park, plaza, and other communal structures. The town is the proud owner of a properly designed set of renforced walls made from mighty querried stone blocks. Their construction and material choices would make a dwarf weap with joy, for each and every part of the elaborate fortifications are purly functional and robust well byond reason. Even nonexperts can tell the walls are an excelent defencive structure. Kèr Ftiēbeg's exceptionaly well made fortifications 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.

Kèr Ftiēbeg has the unmistakable air of a town on its last legs. Everything is a bit slipshod and ramshackle. Everyone is at work, or drinking. No one has anything in their eyes other than fear and despair. Whatever industry once fueled Kèr Ftiēbeg ’s existence has dried up and the town is drifting down the stream of history as it dries up. Likely due to this, Kèr Ftiēbeg is, in a word, disorder. People seem to be allowed to do as they please with little harmoney to anything. It feels less like a town, and more like a spot people just happened to have homes. One cannot help but wonder what Kèr Ftiēbeg was like during the glorydays.
