Overview
Räz Yäckÿq Cåb was founded durring the late 13th century in spring of the year 1156, by Trîg̈g̈. The establishment of Räz Yäckÿq Cåb suffered from several major issues, resulting in the need to develop many solutions to basic problems. Problems such as a lack of fresh water, logistical support, poor quality tools, and the odd monster or two. Howeaver, these were overcome in time.
Räz Yäckÿq Cåb was built using the conventions of Undermountain durring the late 13th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Räz Yäckÿq Cåb is no diffrent. The city'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.
Räz Yäckÿq Cåb is buildings have been located at convienant points along the hill Räz Yäckÿq Cåb was built upon. Navigating the town is therefore a little chalanging as the distance between buildings verris greatly and the narrow paverstone streets flow where they are able to be made rather than folowing the most convienant paths. The city has a set of well fortified walls, with gatehouses, watch towers, battlments, and even a moat, which are fashioned from stone and timber. Räz Yäckÿq Cåb's walls are, howeaver, fashioned from stone and timber. While unorthadox, the design looks to be functional to a reasonable degree. With luck, the untested design will remain untested for years to come. The unusual though effective defenses have not been wellmaintained over the years, and while functional are in dire need of some loving care and perhapse light renovation.
A look around Räz Yäckÿq Cåb 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. This all rests atop the unmistakable impression the town is one of the strictest places imaginable. Everyone’s actions are clearly directed by laws they keep in heart and mind at all times. Orderly byond order is a phrase which Räz Yäckÿq Cåb brings to mind.
