Overview

Boke Hùnlenùw was founded durring the early 11th century, by Jōshīsh Yātḩlärm 'Jade Zeni' Rä̌ Ya̋chī Cú̄shvoī. The establishment of Boke Hùnlenùw was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Boke Hùnlenùw's construction back out of the project. Jōshīsh Yātḩlärm 'Jade Zeni' Rä̌ Ya̋chī Cú̄shvoī pushed on reguardles, and Boke Hùnlenùw was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Boke Hùnlenùw was built using the conventions of Tauran durring the early 11th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Boke Hùnlenùw 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.

Boke Hùnlenùw is buildings are speckled and packed arround restrictive cobblestone 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 thin stone wall. The wall's design was likly directly copied from a castle's parmiter defences. It's simply that the arcatect made Boke Hùnlenùw's wall substancialy thinner than a castle's walls. While the towers and gatehouses are adiquite, the obvious cost savings measure of making the walls drasticaly thinner reduces their ability to resist siege weapons greatly. The city's impressive-looking wall could fail at a critical moment in battle, and would likely not even resist a few bandits with improvised siege equipment. The city's budget oriented have recently undergone extensive repairs and renovations, such that the repairwork is imeadiently apparent and can be spotted due to the diffring ages of materials. One can't help but wonder what brought the need for those repairs to the city.

Boke Hùnlenùw is, in a word, disorder. People seem to be allowed to do as they please with little harmoney to anything. It feels less like a city, and more like a spot people just happened to place their homes. Yet there are small elements here and there which show the underlying structure of the community. 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.

By including non-linear designs processed into its buildings and favoring fragmentation, this style expressed a form of controlled chaos.
