Overview

Kâda Ruma Mudâ was founded durring the early 11th century, by Shèsêm. The establishment of Kâda Ruma Mudâ was plagued by a lack of willing colonists. After attempts to pay people to resettle failed Shèsêm struck deals with nearby nations and communities to establish Kâda Ruma Mudâ as a prison colony.

Kâda Ruma Mudâ was built using the conventions of Warrenese durring the early 11th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Kâda Ruma Mudâ 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.

Kâda Ruma Mudâ is buildings folow an organic layout of premissive paverstone streets whihch gives the city a shape simmilar to a tree, if one views its streets from above. The city is defended by arcane means. It's hard to spot at first, but there's a tell tell shimmer in the air arround Kâda Ruma Mudâ, and you can spot the ocasional warding glyph carved into a rock or tree all arround town. These mystical defences are ancient, unknowable, and unassailable by current means... Assuming everything is in working order. Otherwise, the wards are little more than a deathtrap. The Relic of the World That Was 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 Kâda Ruma Mudâ 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. People seem to be allowed to do as they please with little harmoney to anything. It feels less like a city, and more like a spot people just happened to place their homes.
