Overview

Noftaf Bëchylil Vrët was founded durring the late 16th century in spring of the year 1484, by Jōkī Goī 'Ebony Harley' Jóchīr Méchī̌s Gawméó̄ Gharthat Neerlush. The establishment of Noftaf Bëchylil Vrët suffered from several major issues, resulting in the need to develop many solutions to basic problems. Problems such as a lack of fresh water, logistical support, poor quality tools, and the odd monster or two. Howeaver, these were overcome in time.

Noftaf Bëchylil Vrët was built using the conventions of Wood Elven durring the late 16th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Noftaf Bëchylil Vrët 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.

Noftaf Bëchylil Vrët is buildings are arranged arround a network of restrictive flagstone 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 sits behind an impressive looking clay brick wall. The wall is notable for querried stone blocks being used to renforce the clay bricks in the expected manner and locations. While the wall was built to the exact specifications of modern fortifications, one has to wonder why the money invested into creating such a well fortified wall wasnt spent on a less impressive looking wall crated from sturdier materials. Noftaf Bëchylil Vrët's walls would endure a brief bombardment, but only from light siege weapons. It seems more likly the town's walls were not designed with defence in mind but rather lending the town a certain air with visitors. The boondoggle-of-a-fortified wall has suffered a visible ammount of structural damage, leaving them effectivly useless. One can't help but wonder why the has not yet effected repairs.

Noftaf Bëchylil Vrët seems to be abandoned at first. There are people present, working their trades and going about their business like any community, it’s just they are absurdly quiet.

The entire town feels like a library, with those not reading remaining quite to not disturb those who have their nose in a book. The longer you remain in Noftaf Bëchylil Vrët the more you start to wonder if you’ve entered some strange open-concept University rather than a town, but you can’t quite say such with certainty.
