Overview

Lëpî-ëvè Bî was founded durring the late 15th century in fall of the year 1374, by Ghraingda Glêbrî Dyêbesesí. The establishment of Lëpî-ëvè Bî was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Lëpî-ëvè Bî's construction back out of the project. Ghraingda Glêbrî Dyêbesesí pushed on reguardles, and Lëpî-ëvè Bî was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Lëpî-ëvè Bî was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the late 15th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Lëpî-ëvè Bî is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature plaster covered brickwork used to form structures with an emphasis on symmetry, proportion, geometry and the regularity of parts. Orderly arrangements of columns, pilasters and lintels, as well as the use of semicircular arches, hemispherical domes, niches and aediculae can be found everywhere such that only size of building and yard can be used to measure the general prosparity of a given building's owners due to a general wealthy feeling the style gives off.

Lëpî-ëvè Bî is buildings are speckled and packed arround premissive cobblestone streets with seemingly no patern to them. It appears as if the town's residents simply built streets as they pleased and squeazed buildings in wherever and howeave rpossible, creating an organic, frustrating to navigate, maze of a town. The town is protected by a well-crafted cobblestone fence tall enough to provide adiquite cover for defenders to fire from, but no more than that. The town's frontieer-style defences have recently undergone extensive repairs and renovations, such that the repairwork is imeadiently apparent and can be spotted due to the diffring ages of materials. One can't help but wonder what brought the need for those repairs to the town.

Lëpî-ëvè Bî 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 Lëpî-ëvè Bî ’s existence has dried up and the town is drifting down the stream of history as it dries up.

POI

History

A vast influx of newcomers over the last (3126 % 6)+1 years has greatly spiked Lëpî-ëvè Bî's population. They may have been drawn by economic opportunities, or fled some pursuing peril, or been forcibly moved there by a ruler who wanted to dilute the existing native cohesion. The natives may not have the resources or opportunities to integrate these newcomers, and it may be that the new population has no desire to stay longer than is necessary.

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the early 2nd century the Kami spared the town a natural disaster. One of Lëpî-ëvè Bî's local festivals commemorates this miracle.
