Overview

Kèr Kashhíhqíh was founded durring the late 12th century in fall of the year 1088, by Dyêbêbm Rees Ji̊wo Làkocà Colliams. The establishment of Kèr Kashhíhqíh was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Kèr Kashhíhqíh's construction back out of the project. Dyêbêbm Rees Ji̊wo Làkocà Colliams pushed on reguardles, and Kèr Kashhíhqíh was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Kèr Kashhíhqíh was built using the conventions of Tauric durring the late 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Kèr Kashhíhqíh 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.

Kèr Kashhíhqíh is buildings are arranged arround a network of broad paverstone streets which form a diagonal shaped grid, where each square verries in size given the proximity of the paralell streets forming each section. The ocasional smaller square has been used to construct a park, plaza, and other communal structures. The town posesses a fortified albit thin wall of querried stone. This wall posesses most of the features of a castle wall, though it is constructed from cheeper inferior stone. It would pose a minor chalange for an attacking army, though it's clear the wall's true purpose is to crush the hopes of bandits and marauders. Unfortuantly, these failry decent fortifications are in extreem disrepair, so much so that one cannot tell if they are decaying from a lack of mantance or damage incured.

Kèr Kashhíhqíh is not quite well. Something happened here, perhapse recently, perhapse long ago. Whatever it was, it settled into the very soul of the town like a festering wound. The people go about their day well enough, but there’s a tention in the air you can cut with a knife.
