Overview

Lînê-vële Ye was founded durring the late 15th century in fall of the year 1372, by Truthnu. The establishment of Lînê-vële Ye was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Lînê-vële Ye's construction back out of the project. Truthnu pushed on reguardles, and Lînê-vële Ye was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Lînê-vële Ye was built using the conventions of Iron Elvish durring the late 15th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Lînê-vële Ye is no diffrent. The city's buildings feature delicute timber framework hidden behind layer upon layer of finly ground plaster bleached to an almost glossy white sheen, with green clay tiled roofs and decorative brass-leafed trim. Even the smallest, poorest looking structures appear to be expencive thanks to the extreem elegence of the organic shapes and paterns going into their lofty, spire-y, vagly gothic designs. The more well off folks live in identicle homes, save for even shiner trim and a more whimsical appearance to their structures flowing forms.

Lînê-vële Ye is is constructed arround a semi-circular broad packed earth mainstreet, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to eachother at varrious points. The city posesses a mighty albit amaturly crafted stone wall. It was built using querried stone blocks and posesses all of the standard defencive features, including a few watch towers. While it would last against a siege, the wall's outdated and simplistic construction method percludes the possability of Lînê-vële Ye weathering a full scale bombardment durring a siege. Astonishigly, the budget focused millitary grade defenses are in pristine condishion, as if they had just been finished before you laied eyes upon them.

A look around Lînê-vële Ye shows Lînê-vële Ye is little more than a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Birbes can be seen changing hands openly, such that it must be customary to do so and must have been for a long time. The locals have no fear, no annoyance at the state of things, it simply is.

The arch served as the style's chief structural element, with flanking columns serving as buttresses or decorations. While the general shape of their structures could be generously described as simplistic, the use of these arches and columns created a most distinct ascetic which is easily distinguishable on sight to armatures and experts alike.
