Overview

Lamjíhb Se was founded durring the early 11th century, by Rrhithnor Parry. The establishment of Lamjíhb Se was somewhat plagued by a lack of willing colonists, leading to Rrhithnor Parry electing to pay people to resettle in Lamjíhb Se.

Lamjíhb Se was built using the conventions of Tauric durring the early 11th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Lamjíhb Se 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.

Lamjíhb Se is buildings are built arround a single restrictive paverstone mainstreet which forms a counterclockwise spiral to give the town a over all circular shape. 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specifications of millitary fortifications, but the nature of its clay brick construction leaves it vulnerable to even outdated siege equipment.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. The town's brittle defences have recently undergone extensive repairs and renovations, such that the repairwork is imeadiently apparent and can be spotted due to the diffring ages of materials. One can't help but wonder what brought the need for those repairs to the town.
