Overview

Wasvacnio Se was founded durring the early 9th century, by Calcapra Powys. The establishment of Wasvacnio Se was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Wasvacnio Se's construction back out of the project. Calcapra Powys pushed on reguardles, and Wasvacnio Se was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Wasvacnio Se was built using the conventions of Tauric durring the early 9th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Wasvacnio Se 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.

Wasvacnio Se is buildings are arranged arround a single spacious paverstone 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 posesses a mighty albit amaturly crafted stone wall. It was built using querried stone blocks and posesses all of the standard defencive features, including a few watch towers. While it would last against a siege, the wall's outdated and simplistic construction method percludes the possability of Wasvacnio Se weathering a full scale bombardment durring a siege. Wasvacnio Se's budget focused millitary grade defenses 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.

Wasvacnio Se is not quite well. Something happened here, perhapse recently, perhapse long ago. Whatever it was, it settled into the very soul of the town like a festering wound. The people go about their day well enough, but there’s a tention in the air you can cut with a knife.

Cultural Notes

Wasvacnio Se's chapel was built using a different architectural style from the rest of the town. The style used is best known for the combined use of arcuated and trabeated construction, employing arches and constructed with post and lintel. The arch served as the style's chief structural element, with flanking columns serving as buttresses or decorations. While the general shape of their structures could be generously described as simplistic, the use of these arches and columns created a most distinct ascetic which is easily distinguishable on sight to armatures and experts alike.
