Overview

Yêlê-g̈ècî Fêqê was founded durring the early 9th century, by Sé̄kīsh Bé̄kīsh 'Deific Bite' Erménḱ Māshīy Ya̋chvēy Tshegaresm. The establishment of Yêlê-g̈ècî Fêqê suffered from many setbacks, delays, and obsticles, most notably a group of Yêlê-g̈ècî Fêqê which required millitary assistance exterminate before the community could finish being built.

Yêlê-g̈ècî Fêqê was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 9th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Yêlê-g̈ècî Fêqê 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.

Yêlê-g̈ècî Fêqê is buildings have been located at convienant points along the dale Yêlê-g̈ècî Fêqê was built upon. Navigating the town is therefore a little chalanging as the distance between buildings verris greatly and the restrictive canals streets flow where they are able to be made rather than folowing the most convienant paths. The town rests behind a thick wall made from clay bricks. The wall has all of the proper fortifications and is well made. Unfortuantly the nature of clay brick leaves it quite vulnerable to siege equipment, though the thickness of the wall lends it simmilar resistnace to a thinner hardrock wall. Yêlê-g̈ècî Fêqê's millitarily questionable fortifications 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.

Looking around Yêlê-g̈ècî Fêqê you immediately realise that the locals are looking back at you. All of them. Everywhere you look somone is staring back at you analytically, looking over every inch of you, your gear, and your companions. As you get close to people, their hands move closer to their belt knife, or dagger. You may want to watch where you go and what you say...
