Overview

Rusa Hævû Kâchyâ was founded durring the late 13th century in spring of the year 1167, by Ha̋ńnḱ Mboīń̄ 'Alexa Cutie' Yōō̌s Rḗ Erméoī. The establishment of Rusa Hævû Kâchyâ was somewhat plagued by a lack of willing colonists, leading to Ha̋ńnḱ Mboīń̄ 'Alexa Cutie' Yōō̌s Rḗ Erméoī electing to pay people to resettle in Rusa Hævû Kâchyâ.

Rusa Hævû Kâchyâ was built using the conventions of Rattu durring the late 13th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Rusa Hævû Kâchyâ is no diffrent. The city's buildings feature timber framed wooden shiethed or brick construction, which gives form to a very formalized, rational, expence effishent arcatectural style based on strictly symmetrical designs which universaly feature pitched roofs, shutters, and the occasional column or pilaster for a decorative touch.

Rusa Hævû Kâchyâ is is constructed arround a series of crampt flagstone mainstreets which form overlapping circles, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to eachother at varrious points. The city posesses a fortified albit thin wall of querried stone. This wall posesses most of the features of a castle wall, though it is constructed from cheeper inferior stone. It would pose a minor chalange for an attacking army, though it's clear the wall's true purpose is to crush the hopes of bandits and marauders. The failry decent fortifications 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 Rusa Hævû Kâchyâ has something terribly wrong with it. It’s impossible to put one’s finger on, but something is horribly wrong. Maybe it’s the way fog blankets the ground, but only in the connors of places. Maybe it’s the vermin scuttling between shadows in the corner of your eyes. Perhaps it’s the overcast sky which seemed to creep out of nowhere, or the distant howling of wolves. Maybe it’s all of those things together, or perhaps it's the way these elements combine which makes you worry someone might stab you in a dark ally for your boots. It’s not filthy, or dark, but the smiles seem strained, the locals seem to glare daggers in eachothers backs a little too much, and everyone is armed at all times. You may want to keep an eye on your valuables, and make sure you don’t wind up in any position of power. Regardless, you do not feel it would be wise to remain in Rusa Hævû Kâchyâ long.
