Overview

Kèr Fùtiē̼àvdè was founded durring the early 13th century in winter of the year 1233, by Brêrthepí Crowther. The establishment of Kèr Fùtiē̼àvdè suffered from many setbacks, delays, and obsticles, most notably a group of Kèr Fùtiē̼àvdè which required millitary assistance exterminate before the community could finish being built.

Kèr Fùtiē̼àvdè was built using the conventions of Tauric durring the early 13th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Kèr Fùtiē̼àvdè 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.

Kèr Fùtiē̼àvdè is is constructed arround a semi-circular narrow flagstone mainstreet, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to eachother at varrious points. The town rests behind the absurdity that is a thick, timber braced, wall made of clay bricks. While visualy impressive and certainly an astetic, Kèr Fùtiē̼àvdè's wall provides no actual defence against siege equipment due to the choice of its cosntruction materials. Even nonexperts can tell the town is trying to impress rather than defend with its walls, towers, and gatehouses. Though admittedly, they do look nice... To primitive tribals who have never seen fortifications before. Kèr Fùtiē̼àvdè's political statment focused walls 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.

A look around Kèr Fùtiē̼àvdè has something terribly wrong with it. It’s impossible to put one’s finger on, but something is horribly wrong. Maybe it’s the way fog blankets the ground, but only in the connors of places. Maybe it’s the vermin scuttling between shadows in the corner of your eyes. Perhaps it’s the overcast sky which seemed to creep out of nowhere, or the distant howling of wolves. 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. 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 place their homes. Regardless, you do not feel it would be wise to remain in Kèr Fùtiē̼àvdè long.

History

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the early 2nd century, Kèr Fùtiē̼àvdè was attacked by savage scorpionfolks living nearby. The details of the conflict are hazy at best due to many conflicting accounts. What is known is Kèr Fùtiē̼àvdè lost 179 people, 370 livestock, and 25 buildings. The conflict ended after roughly 124, when members of Kèr Fùtiē̼àvdè's militia enacted an operation to transport a specific war machine to a particular fortification unharmed. The operation was complicated by thick blankets of fog, which hid friend and foe alike. The conflict ended with the defense of the fortification against a siege, which ended in defeat for Kèr Fùtiē̼àvdè's forces. The war is remembered in legend by Kèr Fùtiē̼àvdè's bards, historians, and legend keepers.
