Overview

Boke Tstsvíhnesùg was founded durring the late 17th century in late summer of the year 1572, by Ardeitulus. The establishment of Boke Tstsvíhnesùg was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Boke Tstsvíhnesùg's construction back out of the project. Ardeitulus pushed on reguardles, and Boke Tstsvíhnesùg was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Boke Tstsvíhnesùg was built using the conventions of Tauran durring the late 17th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Boke Tstsvíhnesùg 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.

Boke Tstsvíhnesùg is was constructed arround several broad cobblestone mainstreets which cross one another at certain axies, with smaller streets branching off of them to premit acess to the many buildings deeper into the road network. The overall fashion is remenessent of a circulatory system, or other organic construct, and is quite effishent in its design. 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 Tstsvíhnesùg'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.

A look around Boke Tstsvíhnesùg makes it abundantly clear the city suffered something horrible some time ago. It's as if the town itself is depressed. Smiles are few, cheer is nowhere to be had. Everyone quietly goes about their daily business not looking anyone in the eye.
