Overview

Ëzi-sêka Dêtîkè was founded durring the late 13th century in fall of the year 1193, by Nrelel Êyêyë. The establishment of Ëzi-sêka Dêtîkè was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Ëzi-sêka Dêtîkè's construction back out of the project. Nrelel Êyêyë pushed on reguardles, and Ëzi-sêka Dêtîkè was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Ëzi-sêka Dêtîkè was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the late 13th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Ëzi-sêka Dêtîkè is no diffrent. The town'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.

Ëzi-sêka Dêtîkè is buildings folow an organic layout of crampt canals 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, Ëzi-sêka Dêtîkè'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 are visibly old, but also obviously maintained semi-regularly. Its likly the local malishia or garrison are tasked with ocasional mantance of the towns defences.

A look around Ëzi-sêka Dêtîkè makes it abundantly clear the town suffered something horrible some time ago. It's as if the town itself is depressed. Smiles are few, cheer is nowhere to be had. Everyone quietly goes about their daily business not looking anyone in the eye.

Cultural Notes

Ëzi-sêka Dêtîkè's chapel was built using a different architectural style from the rest of the town. The style used is characterized by towering round arches, massive stone and brickwork, small windows, thick walls, and a propensity for housing art and sculpture depicting mythological scenes. The building's general shape would be a clever and ascetic combination of geometric shapes, which would be blended together by joining elements. The style's decorative features were largely internal rather than external and incorporated semicircular arches for windows, doors, and arcades; barrel or groin vaults to support the roof of the nave; massive piers and walls, with few windows, to contain the outward thrust of the vaults; side aisles with galleries above them..

In Ëzi-sêka Dêtîkè during thunderstorms, with each flash of lightning, everyone sees different monsters from the corner of their eyes.

Ëzi-sêka Dêtîkè's citizens partake in a curious ritual relating to their local kami. It takes place in autumn and involves drinking to channel Chronomancy energies of tier 2 via moments of science.

Points of Interest

While private tutelage of worthy apprentices can be had even in most remote villages, Ëzi-sêka Dêtîkè is home to a proper school dedicated to teaching magic. Such schools are usually small, with no more than a few dozen pupils, most of whom will fail for lack of talent or discipline. The instructors are rarely first-rate, usually serving only for the pay and status, but sometimes a genius sorcerer will find a reason to observe likely apprentices here. Given the unfortunate accident potential of the school, it’s probably isolated or well-fortified.

Ëzi-sêka Dêtîkè's roads were poorly made when first laid. Rather than repairing them correctly, a series of new roads was laid atop the old, leading to the streets of modern Ëzi-sêka Dêtîkè suffering from potholes, cracking, and even sinkholes. The locals often repair the road by putting down wooden decking.

History

The the a Mail coif of Augury, an a Mail coif imbued with great amounts of Augury energies was created in Ëzi-sêka Dêtîkè by in time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century.
