Overview

Thîdî-jêlê Dêtîkè was founded durring the early 16th century in spring of the year 1534, by Fyèlêyë Êyëmèj. The establishment of Thîdî-jêlê Dêtîkè was somewhat plagued by a lack of willing colonists, leading to Fyèlêyë Êyëmèj electing to pay people to resettle in Thîdî-jêlê Dêtîkè.

Thîdî-jêlê Dêtîkè was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 16th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Thîdî-jêlê Dêtîkè is no diffrent. The town'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.

Thîdî-jêlê Dêtîkè is buildings folow an organic layout of premissive packed earth streets whihch gives the town a shape simmilar to a tree, if one views its streets from above. The town rests behind the absurdity that is a thick, timber braced, wall made of clay bricks. While visualy impressive and certainly an astetic, Thîdî-jêlê Dêtîkè'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 maintained semi-regularly. Its likly the local malishia or garrison are tasked with ocasional mantance of the towns defences.

A look around Thîdî-jêlê Dêtîkè makes it abundantly clear the town suffered something horrible some time ago. It's as if the town itself is depressed. Smiles are few, cheer is nowhere to be had. Everyone quietly goes about their daily business not looking anyone in the eye.

Points of Interest

Thîdî-jêlê Dêtîkè has access to some sort of functioning ancient infrastructure, whether it's an array of wall-mounted arcane energy projectors, running water, moving roadways, community-wide climate control, or some other inherited luxury. This infrastructure may be the result of a still-functional Working, or it could be the product of some venerable occult engine that's still operational, or it may be the fruit of the labors of some specially-designed organism or Blighted populace.

History

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the early 2nd century, Thîdî-jêlê Dêtîkè was attacked by savage troglodytess living nearby. The details of the conflict are hazy at best due to many conflicting accounts. What is known is Thîdî-jêlê Dêtîkè lost 173 people, 265 livestock, and 53 buildings. The conflict ended after roughly 138, when members of Thîdî-jêlê Dêtîkè's militia enacted an operation to break a siege of a particular depot. The operation was complicated by one of the key objectives in the operation requiring sticking to a very strict and short time table. The conflict ended with needing to break through the enemy's lines, which ended in victory for Thîdî-jêlê Dêtîkè's forces. The war is remembered in legend by Thîdî-jêlê Dêtîkè's bards, historians, and legend keepers.
