Overview

Ku̹chyâ Lu̹me Kîchyà was founded durring the early 12th century in spring of the year 1130, by Trînhë Shêyê. The establishment of Ku̹chyâ Lu̹me Kîchyà was plagued by a lack of willing colonists. After attempts to pay people to resettle failed Trînhë Shêyê struck deals with nearby nations and communities to establish Ku̹chyâ Lu̹me Kîchyà as a prison colony.

Ku̹chyâ Lu̹me Kîchyà was built using the conventions of Wareneese durring the early 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Ku̹chyâ Lu̹me Kîchyà is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature timber framed wooden shiethed or brick construction, which gives form to a very formalized, rational, expence effishent arcatectural style based on strictly symmetrical designs which universaly feature pitched roofs, shutters, and the occasional column or pilaster for a decorative touch.

Ku̹chyâ Lu̹me Kîchyà is is constructed arround a semi-circular spacious packed earth mainstreet, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to eachother at varrious points. The town resides behind a palisade wall complete with battlments, a moat, and timber gatehouses with drawbridges. The robustly designed timber walls have not been wellmaintained over the years, and while functional are in dire need of some loving care and perhapse light renovation.

A look around Ku̹chyâ Lu̹me Kîchyà 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 just long enough for it to be uncomfortable. A second look around Ku̹chyâ Lu̹me Kîchyà makes it abundantly clear the town suffered something horrible some time ago. It's as if the town itself is depressed. Smiles are few, cheer is nowhere to be had.

Cultural Notes

The locals are in a state of despair and dull apathy. They've lost the things that used to give them pride and hope, with the best among them carrying on out of habitual duty and the worst giving ready hands to shameful deeds and ignoble acts. No one really believes the future can be better, and most seek only to satisfy immediate appetites.

Ku̹chyâ Lu̹me Kîchyà 's garrison 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.”.

History

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century after an anomalously snowy winter, runoff from snow-melt caused Pond Osthus to overflow its banks and spill into Stream Dead. The resulting flood was isolated to the area around Ku̹chyâ Lu̹me Kîchyà , which was swallowed by the waters for several days. Ku̹chyâ Lu̹me Kîchyà lost 277 people, 331 livestock, and 36 buildings in the disaster. The disaster is remembered as the Cursed Fates Drownings.
