Overview

Mî Hæs̺æ was founded durring the late 11th century, by Hèshi Gadshèdo. The establishment of Mî Hæs̺æ was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Mî Hæs̺æ's construction back out of the project. Hèshi Gadshèdo pushed on reguardles, and Mî Hæs̺æ was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Mî Hæs̺æ was built using the conventions of Wareneese durring the late 11th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Mî Hæs̺æ 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.

Mî Hæs̺æ is buildings are arranged arround a network of broad packed earth streets which form a 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 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. Mî Hæs̺æ's failry decent fortifications are in an unremarkable state. To some, this is the ideal sate for defences to be in. In need of absoutly nothing, and ready to serve the town as needed.
