Overview

Odíhg Tshíhzzi̊ was founded durring the late 16th century in spring of the year 1466, by Gadshèbm Rāka. The establishment of Odíhg Tshíhzzi̊ was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Odíhg Tshíhzzi̊'s construction back out of the project. Gadshèbm Rāka pushed on reguardles, and Odíhg Tshíhzzi̊ was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Odíhg Tshíhzzi̊ was built using the conventions of Tauric durring the late 16th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Odíhg Tshíhzzi̊ 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 Tshíhzzi̊ is is constructed arround a series of spacious paverstone mainstreets which form concentric circles, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to each other at varrious points. The town sits behind a stone-renforced palisade wall, with stone gatehouses and timber drawbridges for their trench. The would-be-castle fortifications have not been wellmaintained over the years, and while functional are in dire need of some loving care and perhapse light renovation.

The first thing you notice about Odíhg Tshíhzzi̊ is the large sign at the entrance welcoming you to their humble town. Children come up to you and say hi, some asking if you’ve fought any big monsters, and others just zipping away after their hello. The adults are much the same. By the time you’ve made it a significant way into the town you’ve been invited to a tavern for a pint to drink in exchange for news of the world. You’ve also had no less than three older women give you a sweetroll and direct your attention to their still unmarried children. It would be creepy if it wasn't so sincere.
