Overview

Sêv-yêvê Bî was founded durring the late 16th century in fall of the year 1468, by Cú̄́̄̋ Sēshīb 'Chloe Deific' Cawmé Yaw̄kīsh Ermé Zlêyêpí. The establishment of Sêv-yêvê Bî was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Sêv-yêvê Bî's construction back out of the project. Cú̄́̄̋ Sēshīb 'Chloe Deific' Cawmé Yaw̄kīsh Ermé Zlêyêpí pushed on reguardles, and Sêv-yêvê Bî was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Sêv-yêvê Bî was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the late 16th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Sêv-yêvê Bî is no diffrent. The town'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.

Sêv-yêvê Bî is buildings are arranged arrounded highly ordered system of premissive paverstone streets which form hexical paterns, allowing the incides of the octagons to be common grounds for the buildings on the edges, be it for parkland, yardspace, plazas, or markets. The town rests behind a thin stone wall. The wall's design was likly directly copied from a castle's parmiter defences. It's simply that the arcatect made Sêv-yêvê Bî's wall substancialy thinner than a castle's walls. While the towers and gatehouses are adiquite, the obvious cost savings measure of making the walls drasticaly thinner reduces their ability to resist siege weapons greatly. The town's impressive-looking wall could fail at a critical moment in battle, and would likely not even resist a few bandits with improvised siege equipment. Astonishigly, the budget oriented are in pristine condishion, as if they had just been finished before you laied eyes upon them.

A look around Sêv-yêvê Bî 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 scutteling 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 everything together. Regardless, you do not feel it would be wise to remain in Sêv-yêvê Bî long.

Cultural Notes

Sêv-yêvê Bî's chapel was built using a different architectural style from the rest of the town. The style used is admittedly strange and non-linear style rooted in defiance of symmetrical shapes. It championed the creation of buildings with a unique visual appearance. the structural norms of classic buildings and deforms or moves away from elementary architectural principles. By including non-linear designs processed into its buildings and favoring fragmentation, this style expressed a form of controlled chaos. Its buildings appear out-of-the-ordinary, draw the eye in immediately and sometimes create a feeling of strangeness. These distorted shapes and structure are not reserved to the building’s outer facade, they destabilize interior elements too, favoring minimalism and play on people’s perceptions by injecting a futuristic touch.

The Drake, Forest near Sêv-yêvê Bî are known to be more aggressive than normal.

Rather than repairing them correctly, a series of new roads was laid atop the old, leading to the streets of modern Sêv-yêvê Bî suffering from potholes, cracking, and even sinkholes. The locals often repair the road by putting down wooden decking.

History

A vast influx of newcomers over the last (784 % 6)+1 years has greatly spiked Sêv-yêvê Bî's population. They may have been drawn by economic opportunities, or fled some pursuing peril, or been forcibly moved there by a ruler who wanted to dilute the existing native cohesion. The natives may not have the resources or opportunities to integrate these newcomers, and it may be that the new population has no desire to stay longer than is necessary.
