Overview

I Qàdæ Gûchya was founded durring the early 10th century, by Acharnith. The establishment of I Qàdæ Gûchya was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding I Qàdæ Gûchya's construction back out of the project. Acharnith pushed on reguardles, and I Qàdæ Gûchya was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

I Qàdæ Gûchya was built using the conventions of Rattu durring the early 10th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and I Qàdæ Gûchya is no diffrent. The city'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.

I Qàdæ Gûchya is buildings have been located at convienant points along the rivers I Qàdæ Gûchya was built upon. Navigating the town is therefore a little chalanging as the distance between buildings verris greatly and the spacious cobblestone streets flow where they are able to be made rather than folowing the most convienant paths. The city sits comfortably behind a palisade wall complete with a timber gatehouse and battlments. The city's timber-based walls are visibly old, but also obviously well maintained. Its likly the local malishia or garrison are tasked with routine mantance of the city's defences.

Even the most brief look arround I Qàdæ Gûchya has a good chance of putting a church or shrine into the center of your view. The city is most certainly a god fearing community. It’s also definitely a god loving community. THe streetcornors are occupied by preachers, with the occasional intersection playing host to an actually friendly debate relating to the merits of various gods. Even the less popular as well as the less politically loved gods seem to have a space in I Qàdæ Gûchya, there’s even shrines to gods known to the region only through hearsay.
