Overview
Lër a̋y Vǖy was founded durring the late 18th century in early summer of the year 1683, by Vúrmé̄̌s Mbóchī 'Demi Stunner' Vúńó̄r Vúoīy Yārmp̪f̄. The establishment of Lër a̋y Vǖy suffered from many setbacks, delays, and obsticles, most notably a group of Lër a̋y Vǖy which required millitary assistance exterminate before the community could finish being built.
Lër a̋y Vǖy was built using the conventions of Hobgoblin durring the late 18th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Lër a̋y Vǖy is no diffrent. The town'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.
Lër a̋y Vǖy is buildings are arranged arround a network of premissive packed earth streets which form a grid, where each square verries in size given the proximity of the paralell streets forming each section. The ocasional smaller square has been used to construct a park, plaza, and other communal structures. The town is protected by a humble stone fence which is tall enough to provide adiquite cover for defenders to fire from, but no more than that. The town's peasent-grade 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.
Your first impression of Lër a̋y Vǖy proves to be right on the money. This town is where the rebels chose to settle. Fashion trends are quite simply the opposite of what’s popular in the other nearby communities. THis trend extends everywhere. Things that should be black are white, what would normally be square is organically curved, and what is typically unthinkable for polite society is more than welcome in this public square. Up to the logical limits, of course. There’s no flaying someone alive to eat their skin going on, but the women are dressed a little immodestly, the men are a little more emotional, and the food is all overly complex and terrible.
