Overview

Shîrècëvî-shëno Bî was founded durring the early 14th century in winter of the year 1343, by Vúó̄̄ Mä̌sh 'Foxy Berry' Mbó Sërmë̌ Mēkīb Trêg̈. The establishment of Shîrècëvî-shëno Bî suffered from many setbacks, delays, and obsticles, most notably a group of Shîrècëvî-shëno Bî which required millitary assistance exterminate before the community could finish being built.

Shîrècëvî-shëno Bî was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 14th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Shîrècëvî-shëno 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.

Shîrècëvî-shëno Bî is is constructed arround a series of premissive gravel mainstreets which form concentric circles, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to each other at varrious points. The town sits behind an impressive looking clay brick wall. The wall is notable for querried stone blocks being used to renforce the clay bricks in the expected manner and locations. While the wall was built to the exact specifications of modern fortifications, one has to wonder why the money invested into creating such a well fortified wall wasnt spent on a less impressive looking wall crated from sturdier materials. Shîrècëvî-shëno Bî's walls would endure a brief bombardment, but only from light siege weapons. It seems more likly the town's walls were not designed with defence in mind but rather lending the town a certain air with visitors. The town's boondoggle-of-a-fortified wall have recently undergone extensive repairs and renovations, such that the repairwork is imeadiently apparent and can be spotted due to the diffring ages of materials. One can't help but wonder what brought the need for those repairs to the town.

A look around Shîrècëvî-shëno Bî shows Shîrècëvî-shëno Bî is little more than a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Birbes can be seen changing hands openly, such that it must be customary to do so and must have been for a long time. The locals have no fear, no annoyance at the state of things, it simply is.
