Overview

Dig̈îvî-rêlêyi Sêdè was built using the conventions of Iron Elf durring the late 15th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Dig̈îvî-rêlêyi Sêdè is no diffrent. The city'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.

Dig̈îvî-rêlêyi Sêdè is is constructed arround a semi-circular narrow gravel mainstreet, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to eachother at varrious points. The city rests behind a thin stone wall. The wall's design was likly directly copied from a castle's parmiter defences. It's simply that the arcatect made Dig̈îvî-rêlêyi Sêdè's wall substancialy thinner than a castle's walls. While the towers and gatehouses are adiquite, the obvious cost savings measure of making the walls drasticaly thinner reduces their ability to resist siege weapons greatly. The city's impressive-looking wall could fail at a critical moment in battle, and would likely not even resist a few bandits with improvised siege equipment.
