The establishment of Kèr Shmiríhjosù was only bairly constructed.

Ethral Fardd Belíhgùru Powell Hanford Upjohn pushed on reguardles, and Kèr Shmiríhjosù was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

The town resides behind a palisade wall complete with battlments, a moat, and timber gatehouses with drawbridges. Kèr Shmiríhjosù's robustly designed timber 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.

There are many taverns, brothels are advertising their services on the streets, cardsharks are plying their illicit trade within public squairs, and every shop has at least three signs advertising various sales on goods.

Cultural Notes

Kèr Shmiríhjosù's town hall was built using a different architectural style from the rest of the town. The style used is known primarily for its use of abstraction and simplicity. Clean lines, right angles, and primary colors characterized this aesthetic and art movement expressed via architecture and paintings. Its design ethos allows only primary colors and non-colors, only squares and rectangles, only straight and horizontal or vertical lines. Vertical and horizontal lines are positioned in layers or planes that do not intersect, thereby allowing each element to exist independently and unobstructed by other elements. These seemingly impossible principals for an architectural style coalesces into structures which most experts find hard to put into words. It is not that their geometry is impossible, but rather the style's attempt at producing works only describable visually was most successful..
