Læyi Chyoli was built using the conventions of Wareneese durring the late 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Læyi Chyoli 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.
Læyi Chyoli is buildings are grouped arround an odd layout of restrictive cobblestone 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 town emploies a series of defencive earthworks, spikes, and fences to provide some protection against wild beasts and smaller groups of intelegent foes. Læyi Chyoli's minimaly adiquite 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 town as needed.
A look around Læyi Chyoli is like a look into a broken heart. There is no planning, no organization. Everyone here clearly goes about their own thing with little thought to anyone around them who isn’t selling something they need. It’s not malicious. Heads are hung. Eyes are empty. Something truly horrible happened here once upon a time and the town never healed.

History
In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the early 2nd century, Læyi Chyoli was attacked by soldiers from another nation, waging a greater campaign. The details of the conflict are hazy at best due to many conflicting accounts. What is known is Læyi Chyoli lost 135 people, 371 livestock, and 88 buildings. The conflict ended after roughly 53, when members of Læyi Chyoli's militia enacted an operation to secure a particular research site to utilize it for a specific task. The operation was complicated by major logistical problems. The conflict ended with an assault and siege on the research site, which ended in a stalemate for Læyi Chyoli's forces. The war is remembered in legend by Læyi Chyoli's bards, historians, and legend keepers.
