Overview

Mëcên-ëdo Dêtîkè was founded durring the early 10th century, by Sidney Êyê. The establishment of Mëcên-ëdo Dêtîkè suffered from many setbacks, delays, and obsticles, most notably a group of Mëcên-ëdo Dêtîkè which required millitary assistance exterminate before the community could finish being built.

Mëcên-ëdo Dêtîkè was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 10th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Mëcên-ëdo Dêtîkè 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.

Mëcên-ëdo Dêtîkè is is constructed arround a semi-circular restrictive gravel mainstreet, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to eachother at varrious points. The town is protected by a well-crafted cobblestone fence tall enough to provide adiquite cover for defenders to fire from, but no more than that. The frontieer-style defences have not been wellmaintained over the years, and while functional are in dire need of some loving care and perhapse light renovation.

A look around Mëcên-ëdo Dêtîkè gives you an uneasy feeling. Everything is just a little too worn down, a little too dirty, or both. No one makes eye contact. Kids play quietly, but happily. Occasionally a passerby glances at you out of the corner of their eye, staring just long enough for it to be uncomfortable. This all rests atop the unmistakable impression the town is one of the strictest places imaginable. Everyone’s actions are clearly directed by laws they keep in heart and mind at all times. Orderly byond order is a phrase which Mëcên-ëdo Dêtîkè brings to mind.
