Overview

Mǟ Jáwy Gaw̋lē was founded durring the early 12th century in summer of the year 1126, by Duncan Glen Scott. The establishment of Mǟ Jáwy Gaw̋lē suffered from many setbacks, delays, and obsticles, most notably a group of Mǟ Jáwy Gaw̋lē which required millitary assistance exterminate before the community could finish being built.

Mǟ Jáwy Gaw̋lē was built using the conventions of Goblin durring the early 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Mǟ Jáwy Gaw̋lē 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.

Mǟ Jáwy Gaw̋lē is is constructed arround a series of spacious paverstone mainstreets which form overlapping circles, 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 While it would last against a siege, the wall's outdated and simplistic construction method percludes the possability of Mǟ Jáwy Gaw̋lē weathering a full scale bombardment durring a siege. The city's budget focused millitary grade defenses are visibly old, but also obviously well maintained. Its likly the local malishia or garrison are tasked with routine mantance of the city's defences.

Right off the bat Mǟ Jáwy Gaw̋lē hits you in the face with its success. Everyone, even the peasants, are dressed in well made clothing. Every tool and implement you can see is finely made, and people will boast to you as obvious strangers of the wonders which can be found in their markets. More interestingly is a total lack of beggars, and plenty of new buildings are going up even as you speak. Somehow this city has come into quite a lot of wealth, and recently from the looks of things. Precisely how it has gained its wealth is a mystery. Mǟ Jáwy Gaw̋lē is, in a word, disorder. People seem to be allowed to do as they please with little harmoney to anything. It feels less like a city, and more like a spot people just happened to place their homes. Yet there are small elements here and there which show the underlying structure of the community. It’s just so complex, organic, and flowing one can only understand what is a piece of the puzzle, but not what its neighbors are.

Some guilds might have little or nothing to do with their original trade, and now exist purely as shells for political influence.

Occasionally, for very important buildings, an array of sculptures or one colossal sculpture might replace the entirety of the entrance to said building.
