Overview

Îmu̹ho Kûqà Mîze was founded durring the early 10th century, by Colly Êrí. The establishment of Îmu̹ho Kûqà Mîze was somewhat plagued by a lack of willing colonists, leading to Colly Êrí electing to pay people to resettle in Îmu̹ho Kûqà Mîze.

Îmu̹ho Kûqà Mîze was built using the conventions of Wareneese durring the early 10th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Îmu̹ho Kûqà Mîze is no diffrent. The town'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.

Îmu̹ho Kûqà Mîze is buildings are speckled and packed arround broad flagstone streets with seemingly no patern to them. It appears as if the town's residents simply built streets as they pleased and squeazed buildings in wherever and howeave rpossible, creating an organic, frustrating to navigate, maze of a town. The town sits behind an impressive looking clay brick wall. The wall is notable for querried stone blocks being used to renforce the clay bricks in the expected manner and locations. While the wall was built to the exact specifications of modern fortifications, one has to wonder why the money invested into creating such a well fortified wall wasnt spent on a less impressive looking wall crated from sturdier materials. Îmu̹ho Kûqà Mîze's walls would endure a brief bombardment, but only from light siege weapons. It seems more likly the town's walls were not designed with defence in mind but rather lending the town a certain air with visitors. The town's boondoggle-of-a-fortified wall are visibly old, but also obviously maintained semi-regularly. Its likly the local malishia or garrison are tasked with ocasional mantance of the towns defences.
