The town's buildings feature stone brick construction with most buildings posessing towers, turrets, dormers, and wide wrap-around porches. An extreem emphasis on decorative features and emblishments can be seen even on the poorest of homes and makes even the most humble of structures seem a bit regal.

Kèr Yafjecèp is is constructed arround a semi-circular narrow paverstone mainstreet, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to eachother at varrious points. The town rests behind a thick wall made from clay bricks. The wall has all of the proper fortifications and is well made. Unfortuantly the nature of clay brick leaves it quite vulnerable to siege equipment, though the thickness of the wall lends it simmilar resistnace to a thinner hardrock wall. The millitarily questionable fortifications have not been wellmaintained over the years, and while functional are in dire need of some loving care and perhapse light renovation.

Kèr Yafjecèp seems to be abandoned at first. There are people present, working their trades and going about their business like any community, it’s just they are absurdly quiet.

The entire town feels like a library, with those not reading remaining quite to not disturb those who have their nose in a book. The longer you remain in Kèr Yafjecèp the more you start to wonder if you’ve entered some strange open-concept University rather than a town, but you can’t quite say such with certainty.
