Overview

Odíhg Ashàzāv was founded durring the early 9th century, by Mp̪fēb Cú̄kīb 'Amethyst Nightlight' Ga̋ń̄ Ga̋ń̄ Da̋ń Powys Powys. The establishment of Odíhg Ashàzāv was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Odíhg Ashàzāv's construction back out of the project. Mp̪fēb Cú̄kīb 'Amethyst Nightlight' Ga̋ń̄ Ga̋ń̄ Da̋ń Powys Powys pushed on reguardles, and Odíhg Ashàzāv was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Odíhg Ashàzāv was built using the conventions of Tauric durring the early 9th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Odíhg Ashàzāv is no diffrent. The town'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.

Odíhg Ashàzāv is buildings are arranged arround a network of restrictive baked earthen streets which form a diamond shaped grid, where each diamond verries in size given the proximity of the paralell streets forming each section. The ocasional smaller diamond has been used to construct a park, plaza, and other communal structures. The town rests behind the absurdity that is a thick, timber braced, wall made of clay bricks. While visualy impressive and certainly an astetic, Odíhg Ashàzāv's wall provides no actual defence against siege equipment due to the choice of its cosntruction materials. Even nonexperts can tell the town is trying to impress rather than defend with its walls, towers, and gatehouses. Though admittedly, they do look nice... To primitive tribals who have never seen fortifications before. The town's political statment focused walls 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 town.
