Ûsî Màbæ Mîze was built using the conventions of Wareneese durring the late 9th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Ûsî Màbæ Mîze 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.
Ûsî Màbæ Mîze is buildings are located arround a single crampt paverstone mainstreet which forms a clockwise spiral to give the town a over all circular shape. 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. Ûsî Màbæ Mîze's frontieer-style defences has sufferd soem light damage, reducing its function a little in some spots, but could almsot certainly preform as expected... Though some of the worse spots could lead to the loss of defenders lives if attackers identified the weaknesses ahead of time.
Right off the bat Ûsî Màbæ Mîze hits you in the face with its success. Everyone, even the peasants, are dressed in well made clothing. Every tool and implement you can see is finely made, and people will boast to you as obvious strangers of the wonders which can be found in their markets. More interestingly is a total lack of beggars, and plenty of new buildings are going up even as you speak. Somehow this town has come into quite a lot of wealth, and recently from the looks of things. The new wealth has created some worrying attitudes in many passers by, such that it’s clear new laws have recently been enacted and enforced with such extreme scrutiny the locals seem to be going about their day as if by clockwork.

History
Ûsî Màbæ Mîze's residents established a new industry (21294 % 6)+1 years ago, and it’s making them a great deal of profit. Old patterns of authority and wealth are being disrupted, and the old gentry are unlikely to be pleased about it. They may be trying to take over the industry, or they may have been the ones to enable it in the first place and are using it to crush the life out of any rival power bases. Outsiders might be playing a major role as well, and it could be they plot to siphon off the profits.
In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the early 2nd century, Ûsî Màbæ Mîze was attacked by soldiers from another nation, waging a greater campaign. The details of the conflict are hazy at best due to many conflicting accounts. What is known is Ûsî Màbæ Mîze lost 246 people, 305 livestock, and 64 buildings. The conflict ended after roughly 67, when members of Ûsî Màbæ Mîze's militia enacted an operation to train a group of civilians for a special clandestine operation. The operation was complicated by a trusted officer who turned traitor and defects. The conflict ended with the defense of the mine against a siege, which ended in a crushing defeat for Ûsî Màbæ Mîze's forces. The war is remembered in legend by Ûsî Màbæ Mîze's bards, historians, and legend keepers.
