Overview

Thîmîqê-ëve Bî was founded durring the early 14th century in winter of the year 1336, by Tsî Bresh. The establishment of Thîmîqê-ëve Bî was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Thîmîqê-ëve Bî's construction back out of the project. Tsî Bresh pushed on reguardles, and Thîmîqê-ëve Bî was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

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

Thîmîqê-ëve Bî is buildings have been located at convienant points along the rivers Thîmîqê-ëve Bî was built upon. Navigating the town is therefore a little chalanging as the distance between buildings verris greatly and the broad worn bedrock streets flow where they are able to be made rather than folowing the most convienant paths. The town has a defencive wall made from large clay bricks. The wall is constructed to the exact specifications of millitary fortifications, but the nature of its clay brick construction leaves it vulnerable to even outdated siege equipment. That said, the town is well defended against anything short of an army. Thîmîqê-ëve Bî's brittle defences are suffering from significent damage, so much so that examples can be pointed to no matter which section one might have within their line of site, and most of which render sections inoperable at present.

A look around Thîmîqê-ëve 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 scuttling 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 all of those things together, or perhaps it's the way these elements combine with the simple fact that it is abundantly clear Thîmîqê-ëve Bî 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. Regardless, you do not feel it would be wise to remain in Thîmîqê-ëve Bî long.
