Overview

The establishment of Nkáimu-gheq Rudnoplu suffered from many setbacks, delays, and obsticles, most notably a group of Nkáimu-gheq Rudnoplu which required millitary assistance exterminate before the community could finish being built.

Nkáimu-gheq Rudnoplu was built using the conventions of Gnollish durring the early 11th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Nkáimu-gheq Rudnoplu 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.

Nkáimu-gheq Rudnoplu is is constructed arround a semi-circular broad flagstone mainstreet, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to eachother at varrious points. The town posesses a mighty albit amaturly crafted stone wall. It was built using querried stone blocks and posesses all of the standard defencive features, including a few watch towers. While it would last against a siege, the wall's outdated and simplistic construction method percludes the possability of Nkáimu-gheq Rudnoplu weathering a full scale bombardment durring a siege. The budget focused millitary grade defenses have not been wellmaintained over the years, and while functional are in dire need of some loving care and perhapse light renovation.

Nkáimu-gheq Rudnoplu 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 Nkáimu-gheq Rudnoplu ’s existence has dried up and the town is drifting down the stream of history as it dries up. The people are clearly worried about something, and everyone is either wearing a weapon or has one close at hand. Your gut tells you it’s not mere fate which has caused this town to begin failing...
