Overview

Sazèkwaù Se was founded durring the early 13th century in fall of the year 1216, by Zlêreshèj Wiegold. The establishment of Sazèkwaù Se was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Sazèkwaù Se's construction back out of the project. Zlêreshèj Wiegold pushed on reguardles, and Sazèkwaù Se was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Sazèkwaù Se was built using the conventions of Tauric durring the early 13th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Sazèkwaù Se is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature delicute timber framework hidden behind layer upon layer of finly ground plaster bleached to an almost glossy white sheen, with green clay tiled roofs and decorative brass-leafed trim. Even the smallest, poorest looking structures appear to be expencive thanks to the extreem elegence of the organic shapes and paterns going into their lofty, spire-y, vagly gothic designs. The more well off folks live in identicle homes, save for even shiner trim and a more whimsical appearance to their structures flowing forms.

Sazèkwaù Se is buildings are built arround a single spacious flagstone mainstreet which forms a counterclockwise spiral to give the town a over all circular shape. The town rests behind the absurdity that is a thick, timber braced, wall made of clay bricks. While visualy impressive and certainly an astetic, Sazèkwaù Se's wall provides no actual defence against siege equipment due to the choice of its cosntruction materials. Even nonexperts can tell the town is trying to impress rather than defend with its walls, towers, and gatehouses. Though admittedly, they do look nice... To primitive tribals who have never seen fortifications before. The town's political statment focused walls 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.
