Overview

Vîbo-bëtiyê Bî was founded durring the early 13th century in spring of the year 1209, by Shêrênm Trêtconhe. The establishment of the new community went well, with no major obsticles durring construction.

Vîbo-bëtiyê Bî was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 13th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Vîbo-bëtiyê 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.

Vîbo-bëtiyê Bî is buildings are arranged arround a single broad packed earth mainstreet with many smaller streets branching off of it which gives the town a over all rectangular shape, albit one warped and twisted by the nature of the curves of the main road. The town rests behind the absurdity that is a thick, timber braced, wall made of clay bricks. While visualy impressive and certainly an astetic, Vîbo-bëtiyê Bî'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. Vîbo-bëtiyê Bî's political statment focused walls 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.

Before you’ve even set foot into the heart of Vîbo-bëtiyê Bî, 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 divine, 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 divine. Asside form the revrent worship, you can see the citizens are preparing for something, and that something isn’t good. Weapons are worn openly. Defensive structures have been recently constructed to guard less used areas of the town. Merchants seem very eager to sell their wares at discount prices. Something is coming.

History

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century, Vîbo-bëtiyê Bî was attacked by savage cyclopss living nearby. The details of the conflict are hazy at best due to many conflicting accounts. What is known is Vîbo-bëtiyê Bî lost 168 people, 306 livestock, and 98 buildings. The conflict ended after roughly 57, when members of Vîbo-bëtiyê Bî's militia enacted an operation to locate a particular special forces group. The operation was complicated by an outbreak of plague which struck the ranks, killing many and laying low many more. The conflict ended with the defense of the production site against a siege, which ended in a crushing defeat for Vîbo-bëtiyê Bî's forces. The war is remembered in legend by Vîbo-bëtiyê Bî's bards, historians, and legend keepers.
