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.
Êla-ilekê Fêqê is is constructed arround a series of premissive gravel mainstreets which form concentric circles, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to each other at varrious points.

Though some of the worse spots could lead to the loss of defenders lives if attackers identified the weaknesses ahead of time.

History
Êla-ilekê Fêqê's residents established a new industry (4012 % 6)+1 years ago, and it’s making them a great deal of profit. Old patterns of authority and wealth are being disrupted, and the old gentry are unlikely to be pleased about it. They may be trying to take over the industry, or they may have been the ones to enable it in the first place and are using it to crush the life out of any rival power bases. Outsiders might be playing a major role as well, and it could be they plot to siphon off the profits.
In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century Êla-ilekê Fêqê was rocked by a string of powerful winter storms. The worst of the disaster struck The storm coated everything in a thick layer of ice and freezing countless animals, plants, and people to death. Êla-ilekê Fêqê lost 159 people, and 199 livestock in the disaster.. The disaster is remembered as the Dread Screams, after the sounds of the winds.
