Overview

Yedê-qêmi Bî was founded durring the early 13th century in winter of the year 1216, by Ex-340g 'Zoid' Fyesê. The establishment of Yedê-qêmi Bî was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Yedê-qêmi Bî's construction back out of the project. Ex-340g 'Zoid' Fyesê pushed on reguardles, and Yedê-qêmi Bî was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Yedê-qêmi Bî was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 13th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Yedê-qêmi Bî is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature masoned stone construction which prominantly features pointed arches, pointed ribbed vault cielings, flying buttress', and window tracery all of which share a simmilar gemoetetic patern halfway between organic and inorganic in design formaing a very distinct aesthetically integrated style. BUildings tend to reach for the havens, and more expencive homes are easily identified by their floor count as well as the addition of decorative features intigrated into the building's design such as statues, gargoyals, and embelished joinery.

Yedê-qêmi Bî is buildings are arranged arrounded highly ordered system of narrow worn bedrock streets which form hexical paterns, allowing the incides of the octagons to be common grounds for the buildings on the edges, be it for parkland, yardspace, plazas, or markets. The town is protected by a series of wooden fences ringing the town's parimiter, which are likly intended to keep varrious beasts out of town rather than protect it from attack by any intelegent agents. Unfortuantly, these bare minimum defences are in extreem disrepair, so much so that one cannot tell if they are decaying from a lack of mantance or damage incured.

Right off the bat Yedê-qêmi Bî hits you in the face with its success. Everyone, even the peasants, are dressed in well made clothing. Every tool and implement you can see is finely made, and people will boast to you as obvious strangers of the wonders which can be found in their markets. More interestingly is a total lack of beggars, and plenty of new buildings are going up even as you speak. Somehow this town has come into quite a lot of wealth, and recently from the looks of things.
