Overview

Kèr Rùvíhboc was founded durring the early 15th century in spring of the year 1415, by Treshèj Cadwaladr. The establishment of Kèr Rùvíhboc was somewhat plagued by a lack of willing colonists, leading to Treshèj Cadwaladr electing to pay people to resettle in Kèr Rùvíhboc.

Kèr Rùvíhboc was built using the conventions of Tauric durring the early 15th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Kèr Rùvíhboc is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature delicute timber framework hidden behind layer upon layer of finly ground plaster bleached to an almost glossy white sheen, with green clay tiled roofs and decorative brass-leafed trim. Even the smallest, poorest looking structures appear to be expencive thanks to the extreem elegence of the organic shapes and paterns going into their lofty, spire-y, vagly gothic designs. The more well off folks live in identicle homes, save for even shiner trim and a more whimsical appearance to their structures flowing forms.

Kèr Rùvíhboc is buildings have been located at convienant points along the rivers Kèr Rùvíhboc was built upon. Navigating the town is therefore a little chalanging as the distance between buildings verris greatly and the premissive split-log ties streets flow where they are able to be made rather than folowing the most convienant paths. The town resides behind a palisade wall complete with battlments, a moat, and timber gatehouses with drawbridges. Unfortuantly, these robustly designed timber walls are in extreem disrepair, so much so that one cannot tell if they are decaying from a lack of mantance or damage incured.

Cultural Notes

Kèr Rùvíhboc's mayor's house was built using a different architectural style from the rest of the town. The style used embraces individualism and experimentation. It emerged as a movement against traditional, classical styles and sought to make buildings dynamic and fun while breaking the rules. The style incorporated elements of previous architectural styles in exaggerated and whimsical ways. Traditional, conservative leanings were void in this era, with most scholars of architecture agreeing it was a time of “anything goes.”.
