Overview

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

Yebn Shåwelz Ÿhkphÿh was built using the conventions of Undermountain durring the early 9th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Yebn Shåwelz Ÿhkphÿh is no diffrent. The city'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.

Yebn Shåwelz Ÿhkphÿh is buildings are arranged arround a network of restrictive cobblestone streets which form a grid, where each square verries in size given the proximity of the paralell streets forming each section. The ocasional smaller square has been used to construct a park, plaza, and other communal structures. The city sits behind an impressive looking clay brick wall. The wall is notable for querried stone blocks being used to renforce the clay bricks in the expected manner and locations. While the wall was built to the exact specifications of modern fortifications, one has to wonder why the money invested into creating such a well fortified wall wasnt spent on a less impressive looking wall crated from sturdier materials. Yebn Shåwelz Ÿhkphÿh's walls would endure a brief bombardment, but only from light siege weapons. It seems more likly the city's walls were not designed with defence in mind but rather lending the town a certain air with visitors. Yebn Shåwelz Ÿhkphÿh's boondoggle-of-a-fortified wall 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.

Your first impression of Yebn Shåwelz Ÿhkphÿh proves to be right on the money. This city is where the rebels chose to settle. Fashion trends are quite simply the opposite of what’s popular in the other nearby communities. THis trend extends everywhere. Things that should be black are white, what would normally be square is organically curved, and what is typically unthinkable for polite society is more than welcome in this public square. Up to the logical limits, of course. There’s no flaying someone alive to eat their skin going on, but the women are dressed a little immodestly, the men are a little more emotional, and the food is all overly complex and terrible.
