Overview
Tsë Yis Ner was founded durring the late 18th century in early summer of the year 1697, by Vúrmbó̄ Rḗ̄ 'Lena Moon' Vú̄̄kī̄ Gä̋mp̪f̄ Cûfé̄ Crolnie. The establishment of the new community went well, though many minor issues had to be solved as time went on. This was enough to delay construction and push back the formal opening ceramony, leading to some embarisment for Vúrmbó̄ Rḗ̄ 'Lena Moon' Vú̄̄kī̄ Gä̋mp̪f̄ Cûfé̄ Crolnie.
Tsë Yis Ner was built using the conventions of Wood Elven durring the late 18th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Tsë Yis Ner 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.
Tsë Yis Ner is buildings are arranged arround a network of premissive cobblestone streets which form a diamond shaped grid, where each diamond verries in size given the proximity of the paralell streets forming each section. The ocasional smaller diamond has been used to construct a park, plaza, and other communal structures. The town is protected by a well-crafted cobblestone fence tall enough to provide adiquite cover for defenders to fire from, but no more than that. Unfortuantly, these frontieer-style defences are in extreem disrepair, so much so that one cannot tell if they are decaying from a lack of mantance or damage incured.
The town shows nothing out of the ordinary, at first glance. Then you start to notice all the small things. Each window has seven iron nails pounded into the sill. Every door has a sprig of holly overhead. Every well is branded with purity seals and runes to ward the contents. Everyone is carrying a small charm for safety or fortune, be it a rabbit’s foot, a horseshoe, or other little totems.

History
Tsë Yis Ner used to be more prosperous, but something happened relatively long ago that left it a shrunken shadow of its former self. If the settlement is prosperous, the locals often lament how much more they could have had. If the settlement is not prosperous, the locals blame their ill fortunes on that event. Reminders of this better time can be found in many places within Tsë Yis Ner.
In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century an unusualy harsh winter spawned a deadly blizard to Tsë Yis Ner. The ice, snow, and wind killed 185 people, 261 livestock, and destroyed 89. The event is remembered as Calamity's Breath.
