Overview

Lurûrû Lîchyâchyà Gûchya was founded durring the late 15th century in spring of the year 1361, by Faimes. The establishment of Lurûrû Lîchyâchyà Gûchya was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Lurûrû Lîchyâchyà Gûchya's construction back out of the project. Faimes pushed on reguardles, and Lurûrû Lîchyâchyà Gûchya was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Lurûrû Lîchyâchyà Gûchya was built using the conventions of Rattu durring the late 15th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Lurûrû Lîchyâchyà Gûchya is no diffrent. The city's buildings feature masoned stone construction which prominantly features pointed arches, pointed ribbed vault cielings, flying buttress', and window tracery all of which share a simmilar gemoetetic patern halfway between organic and inorganic in design formaing a very distinct aesthetically integrated style. BUildings tend to reach for the havens, and more expencive homes are easily identified by their floor count as well as the addition of decorative features intigrated into the building's design such as statues, gargoyals, and embelished joinery.

Lurûrû Lîchyâchyà Gûchya is buildings are grouped arround an odd layout of spacious flagstone streets, which seems to be based on an overlapping squair patern such that there are small squares at the cornor of every bigger square. Sometimes buildings exist in the smaller squaires, other times they are open spaces, or occupied by temporary structures. The city posesses a mighty albit amaturly crafted stone wall. It was built using querried stone blocks and posesses all of the standard defencive features, including a few watch towers. While it would last against a siege, the wall's outdated and simplistic construction method percludes the possability of Lurûrû Lîchyâchyà Gûchya weathering a full scale bombardment durring a siege. Lurûrû Lîchyâchyà Gûchya's budget focused millitary grade defenses are in an unremarkable state. To some, this is the ideal sate for defences to be in. In need of absoutly nothing, and ready to serve the city as needed.

Lurûrû Lîchyâchyà Gûchya has the unmistakable air of a city 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 Lurûrû Lîchyâchyà Gûchya ’s existence has dried up and the city is drifting down the stream of history as it dries up.
