Overview

Haciēid Se was founded durring the early 11th century, by Trënmèj Lloyd. The establishment of Haciēid Se suffered from several major issues, resulting in the need to develop many solutions to basic problems. Problems such as a lack of fresh water, logistical support, poor quality tools, and the odd monster or two. Howeaver, these were overcome in time.

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.

Haciēid Se is is constructed arround a series of broad packed earth mainstreets which form overlapping circles, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to eachother at varrious points. The town is the proud owner of a properly designed set of renforced walls made from mighty querried stone blocks. Their construction and material choices would make a dwarf weap with joy, for each and every part of the elaborate fortifications are purly functional and robust well byond reason. Even nonexperts can tell the walls are an excelent defencive structure. Haciēid Se's exceptionaly well made fortifications 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.

History

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the early 2nd century, Haciēid Se was attacked by savage rat ogress living nearby. The details of the conflict are hazy at best due to many conflicting accounts. What is known is Haciēid Se lost 208 people, 264 livestock, and 30 buildings. The conflict ended after roughly 176, when members of Haciēid Se's militia enacted an operation to escort a particular vault to a safe location. The operation was complicated by one of the key objectives in the operation requiring sticking to a very strict and short time table. The conflict ended with the defense of the vault against a siege, which ended in victory for Haciēid Se's forces. The war is remembered in legend by Haciēid Se's bards, historians, and legend keepers.
