Overview

Bāfpāj̼irbi Se was founded durring the late 11th century, by Gwyneth Gadsë Gadsmë Cadwaladr Wiegold Wynne. The establishment of Bāfpāj̼irbi Se suffered from several major issues, resulting in the need to develop many solutions to basic problems.

The town's buildings feature plaster covered brickwork used to form structures with an emphasis on symmetry, proportion, geometry and the regularity of parts. Orderly arrangements of columns, pilasters and lintels, as well as the use of semicircular arches, hemispherical domes, niches and aediculae can be found everywhere such that only size of building and yard can be used to measure the general prosparity of a given building's owners due to a general wealthy feeling the style gives off.

Bāfpāj̼irbi Se is buildings are arranged arround a network of spacious packed earth 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 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. Bāfpāj̼irbi Se's millitarily questionable fortifications are suffering from significent damage, so much so that examples can be pointed to no matter which section one might have within their line of site, and most of which render sections inoperable at present.

It’s just so complex, organic, and flowing one can only understand what is a piece of the puzzle, but not what its neighbors are.
