The town's buildings feature plaster covered brickwork used to form structures with an emphasis on symmetry, proportion, geometry and the regularity of parts. Orderly arrangements of columns, pilasters and lintels, as well as the use of semicircular arches, hemispherical domes, niches and aediculae can be found everywhere such that only size of building and yard can be used to measure the general prosparity of a given building's owners due to a general wealthy feeling the style gives off.

Whatever industry once fueled Wæm Yk-4m Wæb ’s existence has dried up and the town is drifting down the stream of history as it dries up. Likely due to this, Wæm Yk-4m Wæb is, in a word, disorder.

Points of Interest

Wæm Yk-4m Wæb 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.

Due to a magical anomaly, Wæm Yk-4m Wæb is directly accessible from a nearby river, despite the lack of a physical connection between the town's pond and the river.

POI

History
