Overview

G̈pîvl-fêbeno Dêtîkè was founded durring the late 15th century in spring of the year 1380, by Brilè Trêyê. The establishment of G̈pîvl-fêbeno Dêtîkè was plagued by a lack of willing colonists. After attempts to pay people to resettle failed Brilè Trêyê struck deals with nearby nations and communities to establish G̈pîvl-fêbeno Dêtîkè as a prison colony.

G̈pîvl-fêbeno Dêtîkè was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the late 15th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and G̈pîvl-fêbeno 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.

G̈pîvl-fêbeno Dêtîkè is buildings have been located at convienant points along the rivers G̈pîvl-fêbeno Dêtîkè was built upon. Navigating the town is therefore a little chalanging as the distance between buildings verris greatly and the broad worn bedrock streets flow where they are able to be made rather than folowing the most convienant paths. The town rests behind the absurdity that is a thick, timber braced, wall made of clay bricks. While visualy impressive and certainly an astetic, G̈pîvl-fêbeno 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 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.

G̈pîvl-fêbeno Dêtîkè has the unmistakable air of a town on its last legs. Everything is a bit slipshod and ramshackle. Everyone is at work, or drinking. No one has anything in their eyes other than fear and despair. Whatever industry once fueled G̈pîvl-fêbeno Dêtîkè ’s existence has dried up and the town is drifting down the stream of history as it dries up.
