Overview

Mǟ Wō̌y Gaw̋lē was founded durring the early 16th century in fall of the year 1504, by Rot Grub Swarms Giant Mining Beetles Giant Bees. The establishment of Mǟ Wō̌y Gaw̋lē 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.

Mǟ Wō̌y Gaw̋lē was built using the conventions of Goblin durring the early 16th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Mǟ Wō̌y Gaw̋lē 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.

Mǟ Wō̌y Gaw̋lē is buildings are speckled and packed arround premissive cobblestone streets with seemingly no patern to them. It appears as if the city's residents simply built streets as they pleased and squeazed buildings in wherever and howeave rpossible, creating an organic, frustrating to navigate, maze of a city. The city sits behind a stone-renforced palisade wall, with stone gatehouses and timber drawbridges for their trench. The would-be-castle fortifications have not been wellmaintained over the years, and while functional are in dire need of some loving care and perhapse light renovation.

Mǟ Wō̌y Gaw̋lē 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 Mǟ Wō̌y Gaw̋lē ’s existence has dried up and the city is drifting down the stream of history as it dries up.

Points of Interest

While private tutelage of worthy apprentices can be had even in most remote villages, Mǟ Wō̌y Gaw̋lē is home to a proper school dedicated to teaching magic. Such schools are usually small, with no more than a few dozen pupils, most of whom will fail for lack of talent or discipline. The instructors are rarely first-rate, usually serving only for the pay and status, but sometimes a genius sorcerer will find a reason to observe likely apprentices here. Given the unfortunate accident potential of the school, it’s probably isolated or well-fortified.

Mǟ Wō̌y Gaw̋lē's roads were poorly made when first laid. Rather than repairing them correctly, a series of new roads was laid atop the old, leading to the streets of modern Mǟ Wō̌y Gaw̋lē suffering from potholes, cracking, and even sinkholes. The locals often repair the road by putting down wooden decking.
