Overview

Râbæ Kîbi Mîze was founded durring the early 12th century in winter of the year 1131, by Blood Caterpillars Glèj. The establishment of Râbæ Kîbi Mîze suffered from many setbacks, delays, and obsticles, most notably a group of Râbæ Kîbi Mîze which required millitary assistance exterminate before the community could finish being built.

Râbæ Kîbi Mîze was built using the conventions of Wareneese durring the early 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Râbæ Kîbi Mîze 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.

Râbæ Kîbi Mîze is buildings are speckled and packed arround crampt packed earth streets with seemingly no patern to them. It appears as if the town's residents simply built streets as they pleased and squeazed buildings in wherever and howeave rpossible, creating an organic, frustrating to navigate, maze of a town. The town has a fortified albit thin brick wall. The wall has most of the feeatures of a typical castle wall, just on a much smaller scale and and budget. Notably brick isn't a particuarly soild choice for resisting siege weapons. Râbæ Kîbi Mîze's wall wouldn't hinder a proper army, but it is more than sufishent for bandits and other small marauding groups. Râbæ Kîbi Mîze's monster and outlaw focused fortifications are suffering from significent damage, so much so that examples can be pointed to no matter which section one might have within their line of site, and most of which render sections inoperable at present.

A look around Râbæ Kîbi Mîze gives you an uneasy feeling. Everything is just a little too worn down, a little too dirty, or both. 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. A second look around Râbæ Kîbi Mîze makes it abundantly clear the town suffered something horrible some time ago. It's as if the town itself is depressed. Smiles are few, cheer is nowhere to be had.

The style used is characterized by their massive, monolithic and 'blocky' appearance with a rigid geometric style.

Modular elements were often used to form masses representing specific functional zones, grouped into a unified whole.
