Overview

Nusbíhf Se was founded durring the early 9th century, by Mp̪f̄́r Härm 'Blade Bee' Vú̄bó̄ Sé̄̌ Mērm Griffiths. The establishment of Nusbíhf Se was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Nusbíhf Se's construction back out of the project. Mp̪f̄́r Härm 'Blade Bee' Vú̄bó̄ Sé̄̌ Mērm Griffiths pushed on reguardles, and Nusbíhf Se was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Nusbíhf Se was built using the conventions of Tauric durring the early 9th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Nusbíhf Se 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.

Nusbíhf Se is buildings are arranged within a network of restrictive split-log ties 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 is protected by a well-crafted cobblestone fence tall enough to provide adiquite cover for defenders to fire from, but no more than that. Nusbíhf Se's frontieer-style defences 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 Nusbíhf Se seems to be home to a quite vibrant and boisterous community. Everywhere one looks they can see people going out their daily business with a smile and a spring in their step. Children play loudly in the streets, causing untold havoc as youth are want and allowed to do. On second glance, that chaos continues into adulthood. People seem to be allowed to do as they please with little harmoney to anything. It feels less like a town, and more like a spot people just happened to place their homes. Yet there are small elements here and there which show the underlying structure of the community. It’s just so complex, organic, and flowing one can only understand what is a piece of the puzzle, but not what its neighbors are.
