Overview

Fèzî-tênê Dêtîkè was founded durring the early 13th century in summer of the year 1203, by Èlepí Zêyêbêm. The establishment of Fèzî-tênê Dêtîkè was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Fèzî-tênê Dêtîkè's construction back out of the project. Èlepí Zêyêbêm pushed on reguardles, and Fèzî-tênê Dêtîkè was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Fèzî-tênê Dêtîkè was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 13th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Fèzî-tênê Dêtîkè 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.

Fèzî-tênê Dêtîkè is buildings are arranged arround a network of spacious cobblestone streets which form a diamond shaped grid, where each diamond verries in size given the proximity of the paralell streets forming each section. The ocasional smaller diamond has been used to construct a park, plaza, and other communal structures. The town sits behind an impressive looking clay brick wall. The wall is notable for querried stone blocks being used to renforce the clay bricks in the expected manner and locations. While the wall was built to the exact specifications of modern fortifications, one has to wonder why the money invested into creating such a well fortified wall wasnt spent on a less impressive looking wall crated from sturdier materials. Fèzî-tênê Dêtîkè's walls would endure a brief bombardment, but only from light siege weapons. It seems more likly the town's walls were not designed with defence in mind but rather lending the town a certain air with visitors. The boondoggle-of-a-fortified wall have not been wellmaintained over the years, and while functional are in dire need of some loving care and perhapse light renovation.

A look around Fèzî-tênê Dêtîkè shows Fèzî-tênê Dêtîkè is little more than a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Birbes can be seen changing hands openly, such that it must be customary to do so and must have been for a long time. The locals have no fear, no annoyance at the state of things, it simply is.

Cultural Notes

Fèzî-tênê Dêtîkè's bank was built using a different architectural style from the rest of the town. The style used is best known for the combined use of arcuated and trabeated construction, employing arches and constructed with post and lintel. The arch served as the style's chief structural element, with flanking columns serving as buttresses or decorations. While the general shape of their structures could be generously described as simplistic, the use of these arches and columns created a most distinct ascetic which is easily distinguishable on sight to armatures and experts alike.

Points of Interest

While private tutelage of worthy apprentices can be had even in most remote villages, Fèzî-tênê 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.

Fèzî-tênê Dêtîkè's is something of a geological and arcane anomaly, as neither physical nor magical law entirely explains its formation.

History

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century after an anomalously snowy winter, runoff from snow-melt caused Pond Minong to overflow its banks and spill into Creek Alligator. The resulting flood was isolated to the area around Fèzî-tênê Dêtîkè, which was swallowed by the waters for several days. Fèzî-tênê Dêtîkè lost 232 people, 306 livestock, and 60 buildings in the disaster. The disaster is remembered as the Anguish Drownings.
