Overview

Râhà Mûku̽ Kîchyà was founded durring the late 12th century in winter of the year 1054, by Vetnorh Zehndtubgähdä Brtëg̈. The establishment of Râhà Mûku̽ Kîchyà was plagued by a lack of willing colonists. After attempts to pay people to resettle failed Vetnorh Zehndtubgähdä Brtëg̈ struck deals with nearby nations and communities to establish Râhà Mûku̽ Kîchyà as a prison colony.

Râhà Mûku̽ Kîchyà was built using the conventions of Wareneese durring the late 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Râhà Mûku̽ Kîchyà 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.

Râhà Mûku̽ Kîchyà is is constructed arround a series of restrictive cobblestone mainstreets which form overlapping circles, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to eachother at varrious points. The town posesses a mighty albit amaturly crafted stone wall. It was built using querried stone blocks and posesses all of the standard defencive features, including a few watch towers. While it would last against a siege, the wall's outdated and simplistic construction method percludes the possability of Râhà Mûku̽ Kîchyà weathering a full scale bombardment durring a siege. The town's budget focused millitary grade defenses are visibly old, but also obviously well maintained. Its likly the local malishia or garrison are tasked with routine mantance of the town's defences.

A look around Râhà Mûku̽ Kîchyà is like looking into a university’s plaza on the day before an exam. People rush about to-and-fro. Discarded scrolls and quills are dotted around town. In spite of many locals discussing academic topics, there’s little sign of any organized groups for any of that talk. Infact, the town seems disordered in general with everything scattered helter skelter about.
