Overview

Qêmivî-dêva Dêtîkè was founded durring the late 12th century in winter of the year 1069, by Mira Trëkdsmê. The establishment of the new community went well, with no major obsticles durring construction.

Qêmivî-dêva Dêtîkè was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the late 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Qêmivî-dêva Dêtîkè 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.

Qêmivî-dêva Dêtîkè is buildings are arranged within a network of narrow baked earthen 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 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. The town's bare minimum defences have recently undergone extensive repairs and renovations, such that the repairwork is imeadiently apparent and can be spotted due to the diffring ages of materials. One can't help but wonder what brought the need for those repairs to the town.

Qêmivî-dêva Dêtîkè 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 Qêmivî-dêva Dêtîkè ’s existence has dried up and the town is drifting down the stream of history as it dries up. Likely due to this, Qêmivî-dêva Dêtîkè is, in a word, disorder. 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 have homes. One cannot help but wonder what Qêmivî-dêva Dêtîkè was like during the glorydays.

Cultural Notes

Qêmivî-dêva Dêtîkè's chapel was built using a different architectural style from the rest of the town. The style used is characterized by towering round arches, massive stone and brickwork, small windows, thick walls, and a propensity for housing art and sculpture depicting mythological scenes. The building's general shape would be a clever and ascetic combination of geometric shapes, which would be blended together by joining elements. The style's decorative features were largely internal rather than external and incorporated semicircular arches for windows, doors, and arcades; barrel or groin vaults to support the roof of the nave; massive piers and walls, with few windows, to contain the outward thrust of the vaults; side aisles with galleries above them..

In Qêmivî-dêva Dêtîkè sometimes, near one of the seasonal solstices, the sun appears to split into three and it rains from a clear sky for several hours.

Qêmivî-dêva Dêtîkè's citizens partake in a curious ritual relating to their local kami. It takes place in summer and involves long periods of drunkenness to channel Necromancy energies of tier 3 via throat chanting.
