Overview

Jifî-lêthë Dêtîkè was founded durring the early 17th century in late fall of the year 1635, by Tennil Brgfêrí. The establishment of Jifî-lêthë Dêtîkè was plagued by a lack of willing colonists. After attempts to pay people to resettle failed Tennil Brgfêrí struck deals with nearby nations and communities to establish Jifî-lêthë Dêtîkè as a prison colony.

Jifî-lêthë Dêtîkè was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 17th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Jifî-lêthë Dêtîkè 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.

Jifî-lêthë Dêtîkè is buildings are arranged within a network of restrictive flagstone streets which form a rectangular grid, where each block verries in size given the proximity of the paralell streets forming each section. The ocasional smaller block has been used to construct a park, plaza, and other communal structures. The town is the proud owner of a properly designed set of renforced walls made from mighty querried stone blocks. Their construction and material choices would make a dwarf weap with joy, for each and every part of the elaborate fortifications are purly functional and robust well byond reason. Even nonexperts can tell the walls are an excelent defencive structure. The town's exceptionaly well made fortifications have recently undergone extensive repairs and renovations, such that the repairwork is imeadiently apparent and can be spotted due to the diffring ages of materials. One can't help but wonder what brought the need for those repairs to the town.

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.
