Mëíê-ëtêgi thêhodo Dêtîkè was founded durring the early 18th century in early fall of the year 1732, by Hêlë Tshonhonkdo. The establishment of Mëíê-ëtêgi thêhodo Dêtîkè suffered from many setbacks, delays, and obsticles, most notably a group of Mëíê-ëtêgi thêhodo Dêtîkè which required millitary assistance exterminate before the community could finish being built.

Mëíê-ëtêgi thêhodo Dêtîkè was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 18th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Mëíê-ëtêgi thêhodo 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.

Mëíê-ëtêgi thêhodo Dêtîkè is buildings are arranged arround a network of restrictive baked earthen streets which form a diagonal shaped grid, where each square verries in size given the proximity of the paralell streets forming each section. The ocasional smaller square has been used to construct a park, plaza, and other communal structures. The town has a fortified albit thin brick wall. The wall has most of the feeatures of a typical castle wall, just on a much smaller scale and and budget. Notably brick isn't a particuarly soild choice for resisting siege weapons. Mëíê-ëtêgi thêhodo Dêtîkè's wall wouldn't hinder a proper army, but it is more than sufishent for bandits and other small marauding groups. The monster and outlaw focused fortifications have not been wellmaintained over the years, and while functional are in dire need of some loving care and perhapse light renovation.

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 town has come into quite a lot of wealth, and recently from the looks of things. The town is very clearly a joyfull place as well as wealthy.
