Overview

The establishment of the new community went well, with no major obsticles durring construction.
Ēji Whet-æ̈lf was built using the conventions of Gnollish durring the late 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Ēji Whet-æ̈lf is no diffrent. The metropolis's buildings feature timber framed wooden shiethed or brick construction, which gives form to a very formalized, rational, expence effishent arcatectural style based on strictly symmetrical designs which universaly feature pitched roofs, shutters, and the occasional column or pilaster for a decorative touch.
Ēji Whet-æ̈lf is buildings folow an organic layout of spacious baked earthen streets whihch gives the metropolis a shape simmilar to a tree, if one views its streets from above. The valley metropolis rests behind a thick wall made from clay bricks. The wall has all of the proper fortifications and is well made. Unfortuantly the nature of clay brick leaves it quite vulnerable to siege equipment, though the thickness of the wall lends it simmilar resistnace to a thinner hardrock wall. The metropolis's millitarily questionable fortifications are visibly old, but also obviously well maintained. Its likly the local malishia or garrison are tasked with routine mantance of the metropolis's defences.
Right off the bat Ēji Whet-æ̈lf hits you in the face with its success. Everyone, even the peasants, are dressed in well made clothing. Every tool and implement you can see is finely made, and people will boast to you as obvious strangers of the wonders which can be found in their markets. More interestingly is a total lack of beggars, and plenty of new buildings are going up even as you speak. Many of those buildings are schools, scriptoriums, and even one college. One can only wonder what knowledge the town has come into.
