Overview

Îcha Dudà was founded durring the early 12th century in spring of the year 1128, by Trèbêm Brêpîga. The establishment of Îcha Dudà was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Îcha Dudà's construction back out of the project. Trèbêm Brêpîga pushed on reguardles, and Îcha Dudà was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Îcha Dudà was built using the conventions of Wareneese durring the early 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Îcha Dudà 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.

Îcha Dudà is buildings are located arround a single narrow flagstone mainstreet which forms a clockwise spiral to give the town a over all circular shape. The town rests behind the absurdity that is a thick, timber braced, wall made of clay bricks. While visualy impressive and certainly an astetic, Îcha Dudà'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.

Something in your gut tells you that you may be unwelcome in Îcha Dudà. The town seems like it’s not showing you the side of itself it would show to others. People mostly ignore your questions. Many folks ask you to leave their establishments, even before you’ve walked inside them. You should probably listen to them, as every time you’re asked to leave the person asking you to leave has referenced the town’s patron divine in some way. The little voice in the back of your mind that tells you when you’re in danger feels like it’s just glaring at you and muttering about how stupid you are for even remaining in town.

Cultural Notes

Îcha Dudà has a long tradition of martial expertise. This may be a crisply-organized history of skilled native levies, or it may be a natural belligerence in the people that leaves them familiar with bloodshed. While their neighbors and liege doubtless respect their talents, this very aptitude might make them more willing to turn to steel than prudence would advise.

History

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century, Îcha Dudà was attacked by soldiers from another nation, waging a greater campaign. The details of the conflict are hazy at best due to many conflicting accounts. What is known is Îcha Dudà lost 136 people, 224 livestock, and 62 buildings. The conflict ended after roughly 80, when members of Îcha Dudà's militia enacted an operation to train a specific solgiers group for an upcoming operation. 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 pitched battle between both forces, which ended in a crushing defeat for Îcha Dudà's forces. The war is remembered in legend by Îcha Dudà's bards, historians, and legend keepers.
