Overview

Hêv-ëtaè Fêqê was founded durring the early 12th century in winter of the year 1112, by Kêbëd Dyeshe. The establishment of Hêv-ëtaè Fêqê was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Hêv-ëtaè Fêqê's construction back out of the project. Kêbëd Dyeshe pushed on reguardles, and Hêv-ëtaè Fêqê was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Hêv-ëtaè Fêqê was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Hêv-ëtaè Fêqê is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature stone brick construction with most buildings posessing towers, turrets, dormers, and wide wrap-around porches. An extreem emphasis on decorative features and emblishments can be seen even on the poorest of homes and makes even the most humble of structures seem a bit regal.

Hêv-ëtaè Fêqê is was constructed arround several narrow paverstone mainstreets which cross one another at certain axies, with smaller streets branching off of them to premit acess to the many buildings deeper into the road network. The overall fashion is remenessent of a circulatory system, or other organic construct, and is quite effishent in its design. 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. Hêv-ëtaè Fêqê's exceptionaly well made fortifications are in an unremarkable state. To some, this is the ideal sate for defences to be in. In need of absoutly nothing, and ready to serve the town as needed.

Hêv-ëtaè Fêqê is not quite well. Something happened here, perhapse recently, perhapse long ago. Whatever it was, it settled into the very soul of the town like a festering wound. The people go about their day well enough, but there’s a tention in the air you can cut with a knife. You get the terrible feeling that whatever it was, the wound it left will simply never heal. This town is as a necropolice.
