Overview

Odíhg Ststiyàwāqíhg was founded durring the late 15th century in winter of the year 1386, by Shtumgli Vaughes. The establishment of Odíhg Ststiyàwāqíhg was only bairly constructed.

Shtumgli Vaughes pushed on reguardles, and Odíhg Ststiyàwāqíhg was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Odíhg Ststiyàwāqíhg was built using the conventions of Tauric durring the late 15th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Odíhg Ststiyàwāqíhg 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.

Odíhg Ststiyàwāqíhg is buildings are built arround a single restrictive baked earthen mainstreet which forms a counterclockwise spiral to give the town a over all circular shape. The town rests behind a thick wall made from clay bricks. The wall has all of the proper fortifications and is well made. Unfortuantly the nature of clay brick leaves it quite vulnerable to siege equipment, though the thickness of the wall lends it simmilar resistnace to a thinner hardrock wall. Odíhg Ststiyàwāqíhg's millitarily questionable fortifications 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.
