Overview

Inny Citidel was founded durring the late 16th century in summer of the year 1477, by Dyèdsmthë Lulham. The establishment of Inny Citidel was plagued by a lack of willing colonists. After attempts to pay people to resettle failed Dyèdsmthë Lulham struck deals with nearby nations and communities to establish Inny Citidel as a prison colony.

Inny Citidel was built using the conventions of Sylvin durring the late 16th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Inny Citidel 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.

Inny Citidel is is constructed arround a semi-circular crampt cobblestone mainstreet, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to eachother at varrious points. The city rests behind the absurdity that is a thick, timber braced, wall made of clay bricks. While visualy impressive and certainly an astetic, Inny Citidel'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 political statment focused walls have not been wellmaintained over the years, and while functional are in dire need of some loving care and perhapse light renovation.

A look around Inny Citidel gives you an uneasy feeling. Everything is just a little too worn down, a little too dirty, or both. No one makes eye contact. Kids play quietly, but happily. Occasionally a passerby glances at you out of the corner of their eye, staring jsut long enough for it to be uncomfortable.
