Overview

Boyû Ràha was founded durring the late 12th century in fall of the year 1063, by Snog̈îd Treshèj. The establishment of Boyû Ràha was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Boyû Ràha's construction back out of the project. Snog̈îd Treshèj pushed on reguardles, and Boyû Ràha was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Boyû Ràha was built using the conventions of Wareneese durring the late 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Boyû Ràha is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature masoned stone construction which prominantly features pointed arches, pointed ribbed vault cielings, flying buttress', and window tracery all of which share a simmilar gemoetetic patern halfway between organic and inorganic in design formaing a very distinct aesthetically integrated style. BUildings tend to reach for the havens, and more expencive homes are easily identified by their floor count as well as the addition of decorative features intigrated into the building's design such as statues, gargoyals, and embelished joinery.

Boyû Ràha is is constructed arround a series of premissive paverstone mainstreets which form overlapping circles, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to eachother at varrious points. 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. The town's millitarily questionable fortifications are visibly old, but also obviously maintained semi-regularly. Its likly the local malishia or garrison are tasked with ocasional mantance of the towns defences.

A look around Boyû Ràha has something terribly wrong with it. It’s impossible to put one’s finger on, but something is horribly wrong. Maybe it’s the way fog blankets the ground, but only in the connors of places. Maybe it’s the vermin scutteling between shadows in the corner of your eyes. Perhaps it’s the overcast sky which seemed to creep out of nowhere, or the distant howling of wolves. Maybe it’s everything together. Regardless, you do not feel it would be wise to remain in Boyû Ràha long.
