Overview

Frëtbë Wezo Vrët was founded durring the early 12th century in fall of the year 1120, by Alphaen Thiestresh. The establishment of Frëtbë Wezo Vrët suffered from many setbacks, delays, and obsticles, most notably a group of Frëtbë Wezo Vrët which required millitary assistance exterminate before the community could finish being built.

Frëtbë Wezo Vrët was built using the conventions of Wood Elven durring the early 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Frëtbë Wezo Vrët 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.

Frëtbë Wezo Vrët is buildings are arranged within a network of broad cobblestone streets which form a rectangular grid, where each block verries in size given the proximity of the paralell streets forming each section. The ocasional smaller block has been used to construct a park, plaza, and other communal structures. The town is protected by a well-crafted cobblestone fence tall enough to provide adiquite cover for defenders to fire from, but no more than that. Frëtbë Wezo Vrët's frontieer-style defences are suffering from significent damage, so much so that examples can be pointed to no matter which section one might have within their line of site, and most of which render sections inoperable at present.

Your first impression of Frëtbë Wezo Vrët proves to be right on the money. This town is where the rebels chose to settle. Fashion trends are quite simply the opposite of what’s popular in the other nearby communities. THis trend extends everywhere. Things that should be black are white, what would normally be square is organically curved, and what is typically unthinkable for polite society is more than welcome in this public square. Up to the logical limits, of course. There’s no flaying someone alive to eat their skin going on, but the women are dressed a little immodestly, the men are a little more emotional, and the food is all overly complex and terrible.

History

Frëtbë Wezo Vrët's residents established a new industry (14301 % 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 early 2nd century, Frëtbë Wezo Vrët was attacked by a group of guerrilla fighters. The details of the conflict are hazy at best due to many conflicting accounts. What is known is Frëtbë Wezo Vrët lost 232 people, 180 livestock, and 25 buildings. The conflict ended after roughly 86, when members of Frëtbë Wezo Vrët's militia enacted an operation to capture a particular enemy powerful weapon intact. The operation was complicated by enemy spies who revealed the militia's plan. The conflict ended with an assault and siege on the fortification, which ended in defeat for Frëtbë Wezo Vrët's forces. The war is remembered in legend by Frëtbë Wezo Vrët's bards, historians, and legend keepers.
