Overview

Mid Vreflö Gri was founded durring the early 16th century in winter of the year 1546, by Cebukno. The establishment of Mid Vreflö Gri was somewhat plagued by a lack of willing colonists, leading to Cebukno electing to pay people to resettle in Mid Vreflö Gri.

Mid Vreflö Gri was built using the conventions of Wood Elf durring the early 16th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Mid Vreflö Gri 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.

Mid Vreflö Gri is buildings have been located at convienant points along the cliff Mid Vreflö Gri was built upon. Navigating the town is therefore a little chalanging as the distance between buildings verris greatly and the broad split-log ties streets flow where they are able to be made rather than folowing the most convienant paths. The city rests behind a thin stone wall. The wall's design was likly directly copied from a castle's parmiter defences. It's simply that the arcatect made Mid Vreflö Gri's wall substancialy thinner than a castle's walls. While the towers and gatehouses are adiquite, the obvious cost savings measure of making the walls drasticaly thinner reduces their ability to resist siege weapons greatly. The city's impressive-looking wall could fail at a critical moment in battle, and would likely not even resist a few bandits with improvised siege equipment. The city's budget oriented have recently undergone extensive repairs and renovations, such that the repairwork is imeadiently apparent and can be spotted due to the diffring ages of materials. One can't help but wonder what brought the need for those repairs to the city.

A look around Mid Vreflö Gri is like a look into a broken heart which long ago fell to corruption. There is no planning, no organization. Everyone here clearly goes about their own thing with little thought to anyone around them who isn’t selling something they need… unless of course, they would be an easy target for some robbery. The city has truly fallen to evil.
