The town sits comfortably behind a palisade wall complete with a timber gatehouse and battlments. The town's timber-based walls are visibly old, but also obviously maintained semi-regularly.

Right off the bat Kèr ājjècù hits you in the face with its success. Everyone, even the peasants, are dressed in well made clothing.

Somehow this town has come into quite a lot of wealth, and recently from the looks of things. Precisely how it has gained its wealth is a mystery. Kèr ājjècù is, in a word, disorder.
