Overview

Dêto-dêg̈ê Dêtîkè was founded durring the early 13th century in winter of the year 1206, by Gig Trêyèqtco. The establishment of Dêto-dêg̈ê Dêtîkè was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Dêto-dêg̈ê Dêtîkè's construction back out of the project. Gig Trêyèqtco pushed on reguardles, and Dêto-dêg̈ê Dêtîkè was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Dêto-dêg̈ê Dêtîkè was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 13th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Dêto-dêg̈ê Dêtîkè is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature timber framed wooden shiethed or brick construction, which gives form to a very formalized, rational, expence effishent arcatectural style based on strictly symmetrical designs which universaly feature pitched roofs, shutters, and the occasional column or pilaster for a decorative touch.

Dêto-dêg̈ê Dêtîkè is buildings folow an organic layout of restrictive packed earth streets whihch gives the town a shape simmilar to a tree, if one views its streets from above. The town posesses a fortified albit thin wall of querried stone. This wall posesses most of the features of a castle wall, though it is constructed from cheeper inferior stone. It would pose a minor chalange for an attacking army, though it's clear the wall's true purpose is to crush the hopes of bandits and marauders. The failry decent fortifications 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.

Dêto-dêg̈ê Dêtîkè seems to be abandoned at first. There are people present, working their trades and going about their business like any community, it’s just they are absurdly quiet. Just as you start to think there might be trouble, you see most of them are reading. The entire town feels like a library, with those not reading remaining quite to not disturb those who have their nose in a book. The longer you remain in Dêto-dêg̈ê Dêtîkè the more you start to wonder if you’ve entered some strange open-concept University rather than a town, but you can’t quite say such with certainty.
