Overview

Odrinyuflu Se was founded durring the early 15th century in summer of the year 1411, by Vúrm Yó̄kībó 'Femme Gemma' Rawmé̄ Béchvē Mp̪fē Prodger. The establishment of Odrinyuflu Se was plagued by a lack of willing colonists. After attempts to pay people to resettle failed Vúrm Yó̄kībó 'Femme Gemma' Rawmé̄ Béchvē Mp̪fē Prodger struck deals with nearby nations and communities to establish Odrinyuflu Se as a prison colony.

Odrinyuflu Se was built using the conventions of Tauric durring the early 15th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Odrinyuflu 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.

Odrinyuflu Se is was constructed arround several crampt canals mainstreets which cross one another at certain axies, with smaller streets branching off of them to premit acess to the many buildings deeper into the road network. The overall fashion is remenessent of a circulatory system, or other organic construct, and is quite effishent in its design. The town is protected by a series of wooden fences ringing the town's parimiter, which are likly intended to keep varrious beasts out of town rather than protect it from attack by any intelegent agents. Astonishigly, the bare minimum defences are in pristine condishion, as if they had just been finished before you laied eyes upon them.

Odrinyuflu Se has the unmistakable air of a town on its last legs. Everything is a bit slipshod and ramshackle. Everyone is at work, or drinking. No one has anything in their eyes other than fear and despair. Whatever industry once fueled Odrinyuflu Se ’s existence has dried up and the town is drifting down the stream of history as it dries up. Even with that as it is, everything is just a little too worn down, a little too dirty, or much of both. The town should be gone, not dying. No one makes eye contact. Kids play quietly, but happily. Occasionally a passerby glances at you out of the corner of their eye, staring just long enough for it to be uncomfortable.

Points of Interest

It may function only intermittently, now, or its effects may have curdled into something double-edged. The locals have no idea how to fix it, and indeed, it may not be possible to repair it with modern science or sorcery.
