Overview
Kēyī Wǟä Ni̋ēkēä was founded durring the early 11th century, by Trêrí Zlêyesepí Èlkënm. The establishment of Kēyī Wǟä Ni̋ēkēä was plagued by a lack of willing colonists. After attempts to pay people to resettle failed Trêrí Zlêyesepí Èlkënm struck deals with nearby nations and communities to establish Kēyī Wǟä Ni̋ēkēä as a prison colony.
Kēyī Wǟä Ni̋ēkēä was built using the conventions of Goblin durring the early 11th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Kēyī Wǟä Ni̋ēkēä is no diffrent. The city'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.
Kēyī Wǟä Ni̋ēkēä is buildings are built arround a single narrow paverstone mainstreet which forms a counterclockwise spiral to give the city a over all circular shape. The city sits behind an impressive looking clay brick wall. The wall is notable for querried stone blocks being used to renforce the clay bricks in the expected manner and locations. While the wall was built to the exact specifications of modern fortifications, one has to wonder why the money invested into creating such a well fortified wall wasnt spent on a less impressive looking wall crated from sturdier materials. Kēyī Wǟä Ni̋ēkēä's walls would endure a brief bombardment, but only from light siege weapons. It seems more likly the city's walls were not designed with defence in mind but rather lending the town a certain air with visitors. Kēyī Wǟä Ni̋ēkēä's boondoggle-of-a-fortified wall 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.
A look around Kēyī Wǟä Ni̋ēkēä gives you an uneasy feeling. 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 jsut 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 city, and more like a spot people just happened to place their homes.
