Overview

Nëg-èmî Îè was founded durring the early 18th century in early winter of the year 1703, by Máldes. The establishment of Nëg-èmî Îè was somewhat plagued by a lack of willing colonists, leading to Máldes electing to pay people to resettle in Nëg-èmî Îè.

Nëg-èmî Îè was built using the conventions of Iron Elvish durring the early 18th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Nëg-èmî Îè is no diffrent. The city'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.

Nëg-èmî Îè is buildings are built arround a single broad gravel mainstreet which forms a counterclockwise spiral to give the city a over all circular shape. The city has a set of well fortified walls, with gatehouses, watch towers, battlments, and even a moat, which are fashioned from stone and timber. Nëg-èmî Îè's walls are, howeaver, fashioned from stone and timber. While unorthadox, the design looks to be functional to a reasonable degree. With luck, the untested design will remain untested for years to come. Nëg-èmî Îè's unusual though effective defenses are suffering from significent damage, so much so that examples can be pointed to no matter which section one might have within their line of site, and most of which render sections inoperable at present.

Something in your gut tells you that you may be unwelcome in Nëg-èmî Îè. The town seems like it’s not showing you the side of itself it would show to others. People mostly ignore your questions. Many folks ask you to leave their establishments, even before you’ve walked inside them. You should probably listen to them, as every time you’re asked to leave the person asking you to leave has referenced the town’s patron divine in some way. The little voice in the back of your mind that tells you when you’re in danger feels like it’s just glaring at you and muttering about how stupid you are for even remaining in town.

Cultural Notes

The locals are convinced that there is some terrible threat against them working from within their society. It may be a matter of dark sorcerers, foreign spies, traitorous neighbors, shape shifting monsters, or some other hidden evil. This evil may be a recent fear, or it may be an inherited peril they’ve always had to guard against. The danger itself may or may not exist, or if it exists it may not justify the steps being taken.

Nëg-èmî Îè's town hall was built using a different architectural style from the rest of the town. The style used embraces individualism and experimentation. It emerged as a movement against traditional, classical styles and sought to make buildings dynamic and fun while breaking the rules. The style incorporated elements of previous architectural styles in exaggerated and whimsical ways. Traditional, conservative leanings were void in this era, with most scholars of architecture agreeing it was a time of “anything goes.”.

The Clawbat near Nëg-èmî Îè are known to be a mutant strain of the creature.

Nëg-èmî Îè's citizens partake in a curious ritual relating to their local kami. It takes place in spring and involves consuming a local toxin to channel Mysticism energies of tier 2 via chanting.
