Overview

Nozbö Krit Ner was founded durring the early 12th century in winter of the year 1146, by Erist Shuzoreth. The establishment of Nozbö Krit Ner was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Nozbö Krit Ner's construction back out of the project. Erist Shuzoreth pushed on reguardles, and Nozbö Krit Ner was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Nozbö Krit Ner was built using the conventions of Wood Elven durring the early 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Nozbö Krit Ner 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.

Nozbö Krit Ner is buildings are arranged within a network of crampt paverstone 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 has a defencive wall made from querried stone. The wall is equipped with a full set of battlments but the nature of its construction methodology leaves it somewhat vulnerable to siege equipment. That said, the town is well defended against anything short of an army. The town's cost-cutting-focused defences 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.
