Overview

Ig̈îci-îqê Fêqê was founded durring the late 17th century in early summer of the year 1568, by Èbre Trênm. The establishment of Ig̈îci-îqê Fêqê was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Ig̈îci-îqê Fêqê's construction back out of the project. Èbre Trênm pushed on reguardles, and Ig̈îci-îqê Fêqê was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Ig̈îci-îqê Fêqê was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the late 17th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Ig̈îci-îqê Fêqê is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature timber framed wooden shiethed or brick construction, which gives form to a very formalized, rational, expence effishent arcatectural style based on strictly symmetrical designs which universaly feature pitched roofs, shutters, and the occasional column or pilaster for a decorative touch.

Ig̈îci-îqê Fêqê is buildings are arranged arround a single premissive baked earthen mainstreet with many smaller streets branching off of it which gives the town a over all rectangular shape, albit one warped and twisted by the nature of the curves of the main road. The town emploies a series of defencive earthworks, spikes, and fences to provide some protection against wild beasts and smaller groups of intelegent foes. Unfortuantly, these minimaly adiquite are in extreem disrepair, so much so that one cannot tell if they are decaying from a lack of mantance or damage incured.

The town shows nothing out of the ordinary, at first glance. Then you start to notice all the small things. Each window has seven iron nails pounded into the sill. Every door has a sprig of holly overhead. Every well is branded with purity seals and runes to ward the contents. Everyone is carrying a small charm for safety or fortune, be it a rabbit’s foot, a horseshoe, or other little totems.
