Overview

Dîdâ Kechû Kîchyà was founded durring the late 18th century in late spring of the year 1755, by Tshëg̈ Trgartesmë Gadsmtco. The establishment of Dîdâ Kechû Kîchyà was somewhat plagued by a lack of willing colonists, leading to Tshëg̈ Trgartesmë Gadsmtco electing to pay people to resettle in Dîdâ Kechû Kîchyà .

Dîdâ Kechû Kîchyà was built using the conventions of Wareneese durring the late 18th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Dîdâ Kechû Kîchyà 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.

Dîdâ Kechû Kîchyà is buildings have been located at convienant points along the rivers Dîdâ Kechû Kîchyà was built upon. Navigating the town is therefore a little chalanging as the distance between buildings verris greatly and the narrow cobblestone streets flow where they are able to be made rather than folowing the most convienant paths. The town is protected by a series of wooden fences ringing the town's parimiter, which are likly intended to keep varrious beasts out of town rather than protect it from attack by any intelegent agents. The town's bare minimum defences have recently undergone extensive repairs and renovations, such that the repairwork is imeadiently apparent and can be spotted due to the diffring ages of materials. One can't help but wonder what brought the need for those repairs to the town.

Dîdâ Kechû Kîchyà is, in a word, disorder. People seem to be allowed to do as they please with little harmoney to anything. It feels less like a town, and more like a spot people just happened to place their homes. Yet there are small elements here and there which show the underlying structure of the community. It’s just so complex, organic, and flowing one can only understand what is a piece of the puzzle, but not what its neighbors are.
