Overview

Lêno-îzè Sêdè was founded durring the late 10th century, by Treli. The establishment of Lêno-îzè Sêdè suffered from many setbacks, delays, and obsticles, most notably a group of Lêno-îzè Sêdè which required millitary assistance exterminate before the community could finish being built.

Lêno-îzè Sêdè was built using the conventions of Iron Elf durring the late 10th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Lêno-îzè Sêdè is no diffrent. The city'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.

Lêno-îzè Sêdè is buildings have been located at convienant points along the lake Lêno-îzè Sêdè was built upon. Navigating the town is therefore a little chalanging as the distance between buildings verris greatly and the premissive paverstone streets flow where they are able to be made rather than folowing the most convienant paths. The city is the proud owner of a thick set of fortified walls fashioned from querried stone blocks. While not up to snuff for a fort or castle wall, the city's walls are naturaly much larger than those of forts or castles. Therefore, the construction such a wall is most expencive. Lêno-îzè Sêdè's buget focused wall would serve its community well in battle in spite of looking unimpressive compared to castles and fortresses. Unfortuantly, these top tier civilian fortifications are in extreem disrepair, so much so that one cannot tell if they are decaying from a lack of mantance or damage incured.

Lêno-îzè Sêdè has the unmistakable air of a city on its last legs. Everything is a bit slipshod and ramshackle. Everyone is at work, or drinking. No one has anything in their eyes other than fear and despair. Whatever industry once fueled Lêno-îzè Sêdè ’s existence has dried up and the city is drifting down the stream of history as it dries up. The people are clearly worried about something, and everyone is either wearing a weapon or has one close at hand. Your gut tells you it’s not mere fate which has caused this town to begin failing...

Cultural Notes

Lêno-îzè Sêdè's garrison was built using a different architectural style from the rest of the town. The style used is known primarily for its use of abstraction and simplicity. Clean lines, right angles, and primary colors characterized this aesthetic and art movement expressed via architecture and paintings. Its design ethos allows only primary colors and non-colors, only squares and rectangles, only straight and horizontal or vertical lines. Vertical and horizontal lines are positioned in layers or planes that do not intersect, thereby allowing each element to exist independently and unobstructed by other elements. These seemingly impossible principals for an architectural style coalesces into structures which most experts find hard to put into words. It is not that their geometry is impossible, but rather the style's attempt at producing works only describable visually was most successful..

The Trailgaunt near Lêno-îzè Sêdè are known to be more aggressive than normal.

Lêno-îzè Sêdè's citizens partake in a curious ritual relating to their local kami. It takes place in autumn and involves creating small tokens to channel Summoning energies of tier 3 via moments of science.
