Overview

Ûyoqû Gûhu̹ Gûchya was founded durring the early 11th century, by Ylvyhn. The establishment of the new community went well, with no major obsticles durring construction.

Ûyoqû Gûhu̹ Gûchya was built using the conventions of Rattu durring the early 11th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Ûyoqû Gûhu̹ Gûchya is no diffrent. The city's buildings feature delicute timber framework hidden behind layer upon layer of finly ground plaster bleached to an almost glossy white sheen, with green clay tiled roofs and decorative brass-leafed trim. Even the smallest, poorest looking structures appear to be expencive thanks to the extreem elegence of the organic shapes and paterns going into their lofty, spire-y, vagly gothic designs. The more well off folks live in identicle homes, save for even shiner trim and a more whimsical appearance to their structures flowing forms.

Ûyoqû Gûhu̹ Gûchya is is constructed arround a series of restrictive packed earth mainstreets which form concentric circles, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to each other at varrious points. The city rests behind a set of well fortified walls, with gatehouses, watch towers, and battlments. Ûyoqû Gûhu̹ Gûchya's walls are, howeaver, fashioned from stone and timber. While unorthadox, the design looks to be functional to a reasonable degree. With luck, the untested design will remain untested for years to come. The city's unusual yet seemingly effective fortifications have recently undergone extensive repairs and renovations, such that the repairwork is imeadiently apparent and can be spotted due to the diffring ages of materials. One can't help but wonder what brought the need for those repairs to the city.

Before you’ve even set foot into the heart of Ûyoqû Gûhu̹ Gûchya, you can smell it. The incense. It hangs about the town like a cloud. Monks, priests, and clerics are everywhere, all dedicated to the same god, all performing the same rituals to bless and anoint buildings, streets, people, animals, you name it they are or have blessed it. The same holy symbol is everywhere too. Its on buildings, on people, and even branded into livestock. This certainly loves its god. More than it loves wealth. The city is very clearly poor. Buildings are run down in ways that are not imeadiatly obvious. The people are a bit too thin. The market is very eager to sell to newcomers, but not so eager to buy from them. There’s also a general lack of the hum and buzz of healthy industry in Ûyoqû Gûhu̹ Gûchya.

Points of Interest

Ûyoqû Gûhu̹ Gûchya is remarkably well-fortified for a site of its size and role. Tall, stout walls, strong points inside the community, concentric defenses, a strategic terrain location, or a large body of standing troops might be present. Some threat is thought to exist that makes maintaining this fortification worthwhile, though it may come at a dear cost to the locals. The community’s suzerain may be uncomfortable with these defenses, as they could just as easily be used to defy the ruler.

Ûyoqû Gûhu̹ Gûchya is known for its unusual rock formations.

History

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century, Ûyoqû Gûhu̹ Gûchya 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 Ûyoqû Gûhu̹ Gûchya lost 151 people, 310 livestock, and 87 buildings. The conflict ended after roughly 113, when members of Ûyoqû Gûhu̹ Gûchya's militia enacted an operation to delay the operations of the enemy. The operation was complicated by an outbreak of plague which struck the ranks, killing many and laying low many more. The conflict ended with pitched battle between both forces, which ended in a crushing defeat for Ûyoqû Gûhu̹ Gûchya's forces. The war is remembered in legend by Ûyoqû Gûhu̹ Gûchya's bards, historians, and legend keepers.
