Overview

Bû Kûchyû Kâchyâ was founded durring the early 18th century in early fall of the year 1723, by Tsêlê. The establishment of Bû Kûchyû Kâchyâ suffered from several major issues, resulting in the need to develop many solutions to basic problems. Problems such as a lack of fresh water, logistical support, poor quality tools, and the odd monster or two. Howeaver, these were overcome in time.

Bû Kûchyû Kâchyâ was built using the conventions of Rattu durring the early 18th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Bû Kûchyû Kâchyâ 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.

Bû Kûchyû Kâchyâ is buildings are arranged arround a single crampt cobblestone mainstreet with many smaller streets branching off of it which gives the city a over all rectangular shape, albit one warped and twisted by the nature of the curves of the main road. The city has a set of well fortified walls, with gatehouses, watch towers, battlments, and even a moat, which are fashioned from stone and timber. Bû Kûchyû Kâchyâ's walls are, howeaver, fashioned from stone and timber. While unorthadox, the design looks to be functional to a reasonable degree. With luck, the untested design will remain untested for years to come. Astonishigly, the unusual though effective defenses are in pristine condishion, as if they had just been finished before you laied eyes upon them.

A look around Bû Kûchyû Kâchyâ 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 Bû Kûchyû Kâchyâ long.

Cultural Notes

One or more crime bosses have a powerful influence within Bû Kûchyû Kâchyâ.

Bû Kûchyû Kâchyâ's mayor's house was built using a different architectural style from the rest of the town. The style used is famous for its stately symmetry, classical elements, and grand appearance. Columns and pillars, such as Corinthian columns, are often seen supporting open structures or porticos. Symmetry is an important feature of this style, with each half of a building mirroring the other. Domed ceilings and windows grace these buildings, with everything placed in a mathematical arrangement.

Due to the actions of local Kami, summer is recurring in Bû Kûchyû Kâchyâ.

Bû Kûchyû Kâchyâ's citizens partake in a curious ritual relating to their local kami. It takes place in spring and involves line dance to channel Abjuration energies of tier 3 via proclamations.
