Overview

Cê-lavê Êsêza Sêdè was founded durring the early 14th century in fall of the year 1320, by Brelelè. The establishment of the new community went well, with no major obsticles durring construction.

Cê-lavê Êsêza Sêdè was built using the conventions of Iron Elf durring the early 14th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Cê-lavê Êsêza Sêdè 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.

Cê-lavê Êsêza Sêdè is buildings have been located at convienant points along the valley Cê-lavê Êsêza Sêdè was built upon. Navigating the town is therefore a little chalanging as the distance between buildings verris greatly and the crampt paverstone streets flow where they are able to be made rather than folowing the most convienant paths. The city sits comfortably behind a palisade wall complete with a timber gatehouse and battlments. The timber-based walls have not been wellmaintained over the years, and while functional are in dire need of some loving care and perhapse light renovation.

Something in your gut tells you that you may be unwelcome in Cê-lavê Êsêza Sêdè. The town seems like it’s not showing you the side of itself it would show to others. People mostly ignore your questions. Many folks ask you to leave their establishments, even before you’ve walked inside them. You should probably listen to them, as every time you’re asked to leave the person asking you to leave has referenced the town’s patron divine in some way. The little voice in the back of your mind that tells you when you’re in danger feels like it’s just glaring at you and muttering about how stupid you are for even remaining in town.
