Overview

Ntid-smo Gri was founded durring the early 12th century in fall of the year 1134, by Khenvurth. The establishment of Ntid-smo Gri was plagued by a lack of willing colonists. After attempts to pay people to resettle failed Khenvurth struck deals with nearby nations and communities to establish Ntid-smo Gri as a prison colony.

Ntid-smo Gri was built using the conventions of Wood Elf durring the early 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Ntid-smo Gri is no diffrent. The city's buildings feature masoned stone construction which prominantly features pointed arches, pointed ribbed vault cielings, flying buttress', and window tracery all of which share a simmilar gemoetetic patern halfway between organic and inorganic in design formaing a very distinct aesthetically integrated style. BUildings tend to reach for the havens, and more expencive homes are easily identified by their floor count as well as the addition of decorative features intigrated into the building's design such as statues, gargoyals, and embelished joinery.

Ntid-smo Gri is is constructed arround a series of broad cobblestone mainstreets which form overlapping circles, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to eachother at varrious points. The city 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. Ntid-smo Gri's walls would endure a brief bombardment, but only from light siege weapons. It seems more likly the city's walls were not designed with defence in mind but rather lending the town a certain air with visitors. The city's boondoggle-of-a-fortified wall have recently undergone extensive repairs and renovations, such that the repairwork is imeadiently apparent and can be spotted due to the diffring ages of materials. One can't help but wonder what brought the need for those repairs to the city.

The city seems to be a den of chaos where tongues are forked and local customs do not exist.
