Overview
Dëog̈ëvî-cèdêhê Bî was founded durring the late 16th century in fall of the year 1556, by Chrindri Trèlkênm. The establishment of Dëog̈ëvî-cèdêhê Bî was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Dëog̈ëvî-cèdêhê Bî's construction back out of the project. Chrindri Trèlkênm pushed on reguardles, and Dëog̈ëvî-cèdêhê Bî was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.
Dëog̈ëvî-cèdêhê Bî was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the late 16th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Dëog̈ëvî-cèdêhê Bî is no diffrent. The town'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.
Dëog̈ëvî-cèdêhê Bî is is constructed arround a semi-circular crampt flagstone mainstreet, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to eachother at varrious points. The town is the proud owner of a properly designed set of renforced walls made from mighty querried stone blocks. Their construction and material choices would make a dwarf weap with joy, for each and every part of the elaborate fortifications are purly functional and robust well byond reason. Even nonexperts can tell the walls are an excelent defencive structure. Dëog̈ëvî-cèdêhê Bî's exceptionaly well made fortifications 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.
A look around Dëog̈ëvî-cèdêhê Bî 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 scuttling 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 all of those things together, or perhaps it's the way these elements combine with the simple fact that it is abundantly clear Dëog̈ëvî-cèdêhê Bî suffered something horrible some time ago. It's as if the town itself is depressed. Smiles are few, cheer is nowhere to be had. Everyone quietly goes about their daily business not looking anyone in the eye. Regardless, you do not feel it would be wise to remain in Dëog̈ëvî-cèdêhê Bî long.
