Overview

Ochyàlà Qûvæ Mîze was founded durring the late 14th century in fall of the year 1355, by Zhuihn Glkdsê. The establishment of Ochyàlà Qûvæ Mîze suffered from many setbacks, delays, and obsticles, most notably a group of Ochyàlà Qûvæ Mîze which required millitary assistance exterminate before the community could finish being built.

Ochyàlà Qûvæ Mîze was built using the conventions of Wareneese durring the late 14th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Ochyàlà Qûvæ Mîze is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature delicute timber framework hidden behind layer upon layer of finly ground plaster bleached to an almost glossy white sheen, with green clay tiled roofs and decorative brass-leafed trim. Even the smallest, poorest looking structures appear to be expencive thanks to the extreem elegence of the organic shapes and paterns going into their lofty, spire-y, vagly gothic designs. The more well off folks live in identicle homes, save for even shiner trim and a more whimsical appearance to their structures flowing forms.

Ochyàlà Qûvæ Mîze is buildings are built arround a single restrictive cobblestone mainstreet which forms a counterclockwise spiral to give the town a over all circular shape. The town 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 While it would last against a siege, the wall's outdated and simplistic construction method percludes the possability of Ochyàlà Qûvæ Mîze weathering a full scale bombardment durring a siege. Unfortuantly, these budget focused millitary grade defenses are in extreem disrepair, so much so that one cannot tell if they are decaying from a lack of mantance or damage incured.

Your first impression of Ochyàlà Qûvæ Mîze 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.
