Overview

Kèr Hiriewhāclíhi was founded durring the late 18th century in early spring of the year 1673, by Brourgous Waiē̼ā. The establishment of Kèr Hiriewhāclíhi was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Kèr Hiriewhāclíhi's construction back out of the project. Brourgous Waiē̼ā pushed on reguardles, and Kèr Hiriewhāclíhi was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Kèr Hiriewhāclíhi was built using the conventions of Tauric durring the late 18th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Kèr Hiriewhāclíhi is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature timber and earth construction, with most buildigns first floors resembling mounds of earth, with subsequent floors appearing as elaborate log cabins, with each building forming a tiered pyramid of sorts fromed from the stack of rectangular, peek roofed cabins. Most wooden bracing, support, and trim is carved with decorative knotwork, and the larger structures even feature painted trim which emphasises the knotwork.

Kèr Hiriewhāclíhi is buildings are arranged arround a network of narrow packed earth streets which form a diamond shaped grid, where each diamond verries in size given the proximity of the paralell streets forming each section. The ocasional smaller diamond has been used to construct a park, plaza, and other communal structures. The town has a defencive wall made from large clay bricks. The wall is constructed to the exact specifications of millitary fortifications, but the nature of its clay brick construction leaves it vulnerable to even outdated siege equipment. That said, the town is well defended against anything short of an army. Unfortuantly, these brittle defences are in extreem disrepair, so much so that one cannot tell if they are decaying from a lack of mantance or damage incured.

In spite of many locals discussing academic topics, there’s little sign of any organized groups for any of that talk. Infact, the town seems disordered in general with everything scattered helter skelter about.
