Overview

Lêlê-kinê Dêtîkè was founded durring the early 16th century in fall of the year 1509, by Khelel Tshêyêgë. The establishment of Lêlê-kinê Dêtîkè was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Lêlê-kinê Dêtîkè's construction back out of the project. Khelel Tshêyêgë pushed on reguardles, and Lêlê-kinê Dêtîkè was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Lêlê-kinê Dêtîkè was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 16th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Lêlê-kinê Dêtîkè 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.

Lêlê-kinê Dêtîkè is buildings are arranged within a network of crampt cobblestone streets which form a rectangular grid, where each block verries in size given the proximity of the paralell streets forming each section. The ocasional smaller block has been used to construct a park, plaza, and other communal structures. The town rests behind the absurdity that is a thick, timber braced, wall made of clay bricks. While visualy impressive and certainly an astetic, Lêlê-kinê Dêtîkè's wall provides no actual defence against siege equipment due to the choice of its cosntruction materials. Even nonexperts can tell the town is trying to impress rather than defend with its walls, towers, and gatehouses. Though admittedly, they do look nice... To primitive tribals who have never seen fortifications before. The town's political statment focused walls are visibly old, but also obviously well maintained. Its likly the local malishia or garrison are tasked with routine mantance of the town's defences.

Lêlê-kinê Dêtîkè has the unmistakable air of a town on its last legs. Everything is a bit slipshod and ramshackle. Everyone is at work, or drinking. No one has anything in their eyes other than fear and despair. Whatever industry once fueled Lêlê-kinê Dêtîkè ’s existence has dried up and the town is drifting down the stream of history as it dries up. The people are clearly worried about something, and everyone is either wearing a weapon or has one close at hand. Your gut tells you it’s not mere fate which has caused this town to begin failing...

The style used is characterized by their massive, monolithic and 'blocky' appearance with a rigid geometric style.

Modular elements were often used to form masses representing specific functional zones, grouped into a unified whole.
