Overview

G̈ihê-iyidê Fêqê was founded durring the late 16th century in winter of the year 1490, by Megan Tshèj. The establishment of G̈ihê-iyidê Fêqê was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding G̈ihê-iyidê Fêqê's construction back out of the project. Megan Tshèj pushed on reguardles, and G̈ihê-iyidê Fêqê was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

G̈ihê-iyidê Fêqê was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the late 16th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and G̈ihê-iyidê Fêqê is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature timber and earth construction, with most buildigns first floors resembling mounds of earth, with subsequent floors appearing as elaborate log cabins, with each building forming a tiered pyramid of sorts fromed from the stack of rectangular, peek roofed cabins. Most wooden bracing, support, and trim is carved with decorative knotwork, and the larger structures even feature painted trim which emphasises the knotwork.

G̈ihê-iyidê Fêqê is buildings are built arround a single broad flagstone mainstreet which forms a counterclockwise spiral to give the town a over all circular shape. 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. G̈ihê-iyidê Fêqê'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 town's boondoggle-of-a-fortified wall have recently undergone extensive repairs and renovations, such that the repairwork is imeadiently apparent and can be spotted due to the diffring ages of materials. One can't help but wonder what brought the need for those repairs to the town.

Somehow this town has come into quite a lot of wealth, and recently from the looks of things. The town is very clearly a joyfull place as well as wealthy.
