Overview

Có̋ég Gǎgē Vǖy was founded durring the late 11th century, by Shonhê. The establishment of Có̋ég Gǎgē Vǖy was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Có̋ég Gǎgē Vǖy's construction back out of the project. Shonhê pushed on reguardles, and Có̋ég Gǎgē Vǖy was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Có̋ég Gǎgē Vǖy was built using the conventions of Hobgoblin durring the late 11th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Có̋ég Gǎgē Vǖy 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.

Có̋ég Gǎgē Vǖy is buildings are arranged arround a network of spacious paverstone streets which form a diamond shaped grid, where each diamond verries in size given the proximity of the paralell streets forming each section. The ocasional smaller diamond has been used to construct a park, plaza, and other communal structures. The town posesses a mighty albit amaturly crafted stone wall. It was built using querried stone blocks and posesses all of the standard defencive features, including a few watch towers. While it would last against a siege, the wall's outdated and simplistic construction method percludes the possability of Có̋ég Gǎgē Vǖy weathering a full scale bombardment durring a siege. Có̋ég Gǎgē Vǖy's budget focused millitary grade defenses 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.
