Overview

Dá̌s Cûntʰǖmä Éer was founded durring the early 14th century in winter of the year 1346, by Béchvē Vúnvér 'Dubarry Vixen' Cúnḱ Rä̋ch Ca̋m Ca̋chv Sēb. The establishment of Dá̌s Cûntʰǖmä Éer suffered from many setbacks, delays, and obsticles, most notably a group of Dá̌s Cûntʰǖmä Éer which required millitary assistance exterminate before the community could finish being built.

Dá̌s Cûntʰǖmä Éer was built using the conventions of Goblin durring the early 14th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Dá̌s Cûntʰǖmä Éer 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.

Dá̌s Cûntʰǖmä Éer is was constructed arround several restrictive canals mainstreets which cross one another at certain axies, with smaller streets branching off of them to premit acess to the many buildings deeper into the road network. The overall fashion is remenessent of a circulatory system, or other organic construct, and is quite effishent in its design. 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. Dá̌s Cûntʰǖmä Éer'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. The boondoggle-of-a-fortified wall has suffered a visible ammount of structural damage, leaving them effectivly useless. One can't help but wonder why the has not yet effected repairs.

The first thing you notice about Dá̌s Cûntʰǖmä Éer is the large sign at the entrance welcoming you to their humble city. Children come up to you and say hi, some asking if you’ve fought any big monsters, and others just zipping away after their hello. The adults are much the same. By the time you’ve made it a significant way into the town you’ve been invited to a tavern for a pint to drink in exchange for news of the world. You’ve also had no less than three older women give you a sweetroll and direct your attention to their still unmarried children. It would be creepy if it wasn't so sincere.
