Overview

Eg Vaz Gehgeh was founded durring the late 12th century in winter of the year 1085, by Tsmë Cåqcebackhu. The establishment of Eg Vaz Gehgeh was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Eg Vaz Gehgeh's construction back out of the project. Tsmë Cåqcebackhu pushed on reguardles, and Eg Vaz Gehgeh was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Eg Vaz Gehgeh was built using the conventions of Dwarvern durring the late 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Eg Vaz Gehgeh is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature plaster covered brickwork used to form structures with an emphasis on symmetry, proportion, geometry and the regularity of parts. Orderly arrangements of columns, pilasters and lintels, as well as the use of semicircular arches, hemispherical domes, niches and aediculae can be found everywhere such that only size of building and yard can be used to measure the general prosparity of a given building's owners due to a general wealthy feeling the style gives off.

Eg Vaz Gehgeh is buildings folow an organic layout of narrow flagstone streets whihch gives the town a shape simmilar to a tree, if one views its streets from above. The town rests behind the absurdity that is a thick, timber braced, wall made of clay bricks. While visualy impressive and certainly an astetic, Eg Vaz Gehgeh's wall provides no actual defence against siege equipment due to the choice of its cosntruction materials. Even nonexperts can tell the town is trying to impress rather than defend with its walls, towers, and gatehouses. Though admittedly, they do look nice... To primitive tribals who have never seen fortifications before. The town's political statment focused walls 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.

The first thing you notice about Eg Vaz Gehgeh is the large sign at the entrance welcoming you to their humble town. 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.
