Overview

Mëíê-dèthêkè Fêqê was founded durring the early 14th century in fall of the year 1323, by Gwyneth Sheg̈mege. The establishment of Mëíê-dèthêkè Fêqê was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Mëíê-dèthêkè Fêqê's construction back out of the project. Gwyneth Sheg̈mege pushed on reguardles, and Mëíê-dèthêkè Fêqê was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Mëíê-dèthêkè Fêqê was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 14th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Mëíê-dèthêkè Fêqê is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature timber framed wooden shiethed or brick construction, which gives form to a very formalized, rational, expence effishent arcatectural style based on strictly symmetrical designs which universaly feature pitched roofs, shutters, and the occasional column or pilaster for a decorative touch.

Mëíê-dèthêkè Fêqê is was constructed arround several spacious cobblestone mainstreets which cross one another at certain axies, with smaller streets branching off of them to premit acess to the many buildings deeper into the road network. The overall fashion is remenessent of a circulatory system, or other organic construct, and is quite effishent in its design. The town posesses a fortified albit thin wall of querried stone. This wall posesses most of the features of a castle wall, though it is constructed from cheeper inferior stone. It would pose a minor chalange for an attacking army, though it's clear the wall's true purpose is to crush the hopes of bandits and marauders. The town's failry decent fortifications are visibly old, but also obviously well maintained. Its likly the local malishia or garrison are tasked with routine mantance of the town's defences.

Mëíê-dèthêkè Fêqê has the unmistakable air of a town 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 Mëíê-dèthêkè Fêqê ’s existence has dried up and the town is drifting down the stream of history as it dries up.
