Overview

Kèr Ststíhnùv was founded durring the early 11th century, by Hurolin Wynne. The establishment of Kèr Ststíhnùv was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Kèr Ststíhnùv's construction back out of the project. Hurolin Wynne pushed on reguardles, and Kèr Ststíhnùv was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Kèr Ststíhnùv was built using the conventions of Tauric durring the early 11th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Kèr Ststíhnùv is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature masoned stone construction which prominantly features pointed arches, pointed ribbed vault cielings, flying buttress', and window tracery all of which share a simmilar gemoetetic patern halfway between organic and inorganic in design formaing a very distinct aesthetically integrated style. BUildings tend to reach for the havens, and more expencive homes are easily identified by their floor count as well as the addition of decorative features intigrated into the building's design such as statues, gargoyals, and embelished joinery.

Kèr Ststíhnùv is buildings are speckled and packed arround narrow cobblestone 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 rests behind the absurdity that is a thick, timber braced, wall made of clay bricks. While visualy impressive and certainly an astetic, Kèr Ststíhnùv's wall provides no actual defence against siege equipment due to the choice of its cosntruction materials. Even nonexperts can tell the town is trying to impress rather than defend with its walls, towers, and gatehouses. Though admittedly, they do look nice... To primitive tribals who have never seen fortifications before. Kèr Ststíhnùv's political statment focused walls are in an unremarkable state. To some, this is the ideal sate for defences to be in. In need of absoutly nothing, and ready to serve the town as needed.

Right off the bat Kèr Ststíhnùv hits you in the face with its success. Everyone, even the peasants, are dressed in well made clothing.

More interestingly is a total lack of beggars, and plenty of new buildings are going up even as you speak. Somehow this town has come into quite a lot of wealth, and recently from the looks of things. Precisely how it has gained its wealth is a mystery. Kèr Ststíhnùv is, in a word, disorder. People seem to be allowed to do as they please with little harmoney to anything. It feels less like a town, and more like a spot people just happened to place their homes. Yet there are small elements here and there which show the underlying structure of the community. It’s just so complex, organic, and flowing one can only understand what is a piece of the puzzle, but not what its neighbors are.
