Overview

Zá̋ Nidáä Ni̋ēkēä was founded durring the late 16th century in winter of the year 1477, by Trelè Glèsê Moctil. The establishment of Zá̋ Nidáä Ni̋ēkēä was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Zá̋ Nidáä Ni̋ēkēä's construction back out of the project. Trelè Glèsê Moctil pushed on reguardles, and Zá̋ Nidáä Ni̋ēkēä was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Zá̋ Nidáä Ni̋ēkēä was built using the conventions of Goblin durring the late 16th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Zá̋ Nidáä Ni̋ēkēä 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.

Zá̋ Nidáä Ni̋ēkēä is is constructed arround a series of restrictive flagstone mainstreets which form concentric circles, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to each other at varrious points. The city sits comfortably behind a palisade wall complete with a timber gatehouse and battlments. The city's timber-based walls are visibly old, but also obviously maintained semi-regularly. Its likly the local malishia or garrison are tasked with ocasional mantance of the citys defences.

Right off the bat Zá̋ Nidáä Ni̋ēkēä 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 city has come into quite a lot of wealth, and recently from the looks of things. This wealth has brought the city nothing but neurosis, if you can believe your eyes. Everyone acts as if you’re out to take a piece of them. Every door is locked and every window barred. Efforts are made to make you feel welcome, but only in the public areas of the city, particularly the market.
