Overview

Läpm Sshepm Ckez was founded durring the late 15th century in winter of the year 1371, by Bonnlyn Ewelochoch. The establishment of Läpm Sshepm Ckez suffered from several major issues, resulting in the need to develop many solutions to basic problems. Problems such as a lack of fresh water, logistical support, poor quality tools, and the odd monster or two. Howeaver, these were overcome in time.

Läpm Sshepm Ckez was built using the conventions of Dwarvern durring the late 15th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Läpm Sshepm Ckez 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.

Läpm Sshepm Ckez is buildings have been located at convienant points along the cliff Läpm Sshepm Ckez was built upon. Navigating the town is therefore a little chalanging as the distance between buildings verris greatly and the premissive gravel streets flow where they are able to be made rather than folowing the most convienant paths. The town resides behind a palisade wall complete with battlments, a moat, and timber gatehouses with drawbridges. The robustly designed timber walls has suffered a visible ammount of structural damage, leaving them effectivly useless. One can't help but wonder why the has not yet effected repairs.

What’s more, there is a serious lack of any organization and planning in Läpm Sshepm Ckez’s layout as well as the local’s behaviors. The town seems to be a den of chaos where tongues are forked and local customs do not exist.

Cultural Notes

The style used is best known for its functional shapes, abstract shapes used sparingly for decor, simple color schemes, holistic design, and basic industrial materials. Its simple designs were created to be beautiful, functional, and mass-producible. The style used little to no embellishment or ornamentation, instead drawing attention to the streamlined design, such as flat roofs to create a simple, geometric look. The simplicity masks the style's nearly sinister functionality, as every last feature is designed to guide the people living in the building in how to make the most efficient use of the structure.
