Overview
Nów̋nḱ Dä̋zër Éer was founded durring the early 10th century, by Aripius Lucatela Syllaemus. The establishment of the new community went well, though many minor issues had to be solved as time went on. This was enough to delay construction and push back the formal opening ceramony, leading to some embarisment for Aripius Lucatela Syllaemus.
Nów̋nḱ Dä̋zër Éer was built using the conventions of Goblin durring the early 10th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Nów̋nḱ Dä̋zër Éer 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.
Nów̋nḱ Dä̋zër Éer is buildings have been located at convienant points along the valley Nów̋nḱ Dä̋zër Éer was built upon. Navigating the town is therefore a little chalanging as the distance between buildings verris greatly and the spacious paverstone streets flow where they are able to be made rather than folowing the most convienant paths. The city is defended by arcane means. It's hard to spot at first, but there's a tell tell shimmer in the air arround Nów̋nḱ Dä̋zër Éer, and you can spot the ocasional warding glyph carved into a rock or tree all arround town. These mystical defences are ancient, unknowable, and unassailable by current means... Assuming everything is in working order. Otherwise, the wards are little more than a deathtrap. Nów̋nḱ Dä̋zër Éer's Relic of the World That Was has sufferd soem light damage, reducing its function a little in some spots, but could almsot certainly preform as expected... Though some of the worse spots could lead to the loss of defenders lives if attackers identified the weaknesses ahead of time.
Something in your gut tells you that you may be unwelcome in Nów̋nḱ Dä̋zër Éer. 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.
