The city's buildings feature waddle and daub construction with good timber frames and a stone foundation protected by thatched or shingled rooves.

Brovo̠-fōn Gri is is constructed arround a series of restrictive canals mainstreets which form concentric circles, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to each other at varrious points. The city sits behind an impressive looking clay brick wall. The wall is notable for querried stone blocks being used to renforce the clay bricks in the expected manner and locations. While the wall was built to the exact specifications of modern fortifications, one has to wonder why the money invested into creating such a well fortified wall wasnt spent on a less impressive looking wall crated from sturdier materials. Brovo̠-fōn Gri's walls would endure a brief bombardment, but only from light siege weapons. It seems more likly the city's walls were not designed with defence in mind but rather lending the town a certain air with visitors. Brovo̠-fōn Gri's boondoggle-of-a-fortified wall has sufferd soem light damage, reducing its function a little in some spots, but could almsot certainly preform as expected... Though some of the worse spots could lead to the loss of defenders lives if attackers identified the weaknesses ahead of time.
