Cultural Notes
Skrōv-kuk Hadfow's town hall was built using a different architectural style from the rest of the town. The style used is characterized by towering round arches, massive stone and brickwork, small windows, thick walls, and a propensity for housing art and sculpture depicting mythological scenes. The building's general shape would be a clever and ascetic combination of geometric shapes, which would be blended together by joining elements. The style's decorative features were largely internal rather than external and incorporated semicircular arches for windows, doors, and arcades; barrel or groin vaults to support the roof of the nave; massive piers and walls, with few windows, to contain the outward thrust of the vaults; side aisles with galleries above them..
In Skrōv-kuk Hadfow sometimes, near one of the seasonal solstices, the sun appears to split into three and it rains from a clear sky for several hours.
Skrōv-kuk Hadfow's citizens partake in a curious ritual relating to their local kami. It takes place in winter and involves reenactments to channel Mysticism energies of tier 1 via guttural bellowing.
