Overview

Qithëmt-shëno Fêqê was founded durring the late 12th century in summer of the year 1075, by Gnanvaihn Êmê. The establishment of Qithëmt-shëno Fêqê was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Qithëmt-shëno Fêqê's construction back out of the project. Gnanvaihn Êmê pushed on reguardles, and Qithëmt-shëno Fêqê was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Qithëmt-shëno Fêqê was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the late 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Qithëmt-shëno Fêqê is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature masoned stone construction which prominantly features pointed arches, pointed ribbed vault cielings, flying buttress', and window tracery all of which share a simmilar gemoetetic patern halfway between organic and inorganic in design formaing a very distinct aesthetically integrated style. BUildings tend to reach for the havens, and more expencive homes are easily identified by their floor count as well as the addition of decorative features intigrated into the building's design such as statues, gargoyals, and embelished joinery.

Qithëmt-shëno Fêqê is buildings are arranged arround a network of narrow cobblestone streets which form a grid, where each square verries in size given the proximity of the paralell streets forming each section. The ocasional smaller square 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. Astonishigly, the bare minimum defences are in pristine condishion, as if they had just been finished before you laied eyes upon them.

A look around Qithëmt-shëno Fêqê shows Qithëmt-shëno Fêqê is little more than a wretched hive of scum and villainy.
