Overview

Abrǟrtki-i̽nma Gri was founded durring the early 14th century in fall of the year 1319, by Gencoss. The establishment of Abrǟrtki-i̽nma Gri was somewhat plagued by a lack of willing colonists, leading to Gencoss electing to pay people to resettle in Abrǟrtki-i̽nma Gri.

Abrǟrtki-i̽nma Gri was built using the conventions of Wood Elf durring the early 14th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Abrǟrtki-i̽nma Gri is no diffrent. The city's buildings feature timber framed wooden shiethed or brick construction, which gives form to a very formalized, rational, expence effishent arcatectural style based on strictly symmetrical designs which universaly feature pitched roofs, shutters, and the occasional column or pilaster for a decorative touch.

Abrǟrtki-i̽nma Gri is buildings are speckled and packed arround narrow gravel streets with seemingly no patern to them. It appears as if the city's residents simply built streets as they pleased and squeazed buildings in wherever and howeave rpossible, creating an organic, frustrating to navigate, maze of a city. The city 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. The city's millitarily questionable fortifications are visibly old, but also obviously well maintained. Its likly the local malishia or garrison are tasked with routine mantance of the city's defences.

History

Abrǟrtki-i̽nma Gri is still bloodied by a recent violent conflict. A crushing bandit raid, a lost siege, getting caught at the periphery of a major battle, or some other calamity has inflicted severe damage on the place. Some communities may suffer a longer-term version of this, their youths lost in a grinding, endless battle against some perpetual threat.

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century the Kami ended a famine plaguing Abrǟrtki-i̽nma Gri. One of Abrǟrtki-i̽nma Gri's local festivals commemorates this miracle.
