Overview

Odíhg Íhmiewi̊v was founded durring the late 20th century in late summer of the year 1959, by Kliggel Edwardd Llywell Āko. The establishment of Odíhg Íhmiewi̊v was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Odíhg Íhmiewi̊v's construction back out of the project. Kliggel Edwardd Llywell Āko pushed on reguardles, and Odíhg Íhmiewi̊v was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Odíhg Íhmiewi̊v was built using the conventions of Tauric durring the late 20th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Odíhg Íhmiewi̊v is no diffrent. The town'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.

Odíhg Íhmiewi̊v is buildings are arranged arround a network of premissive 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 posesses a fortified albit thin wall of querried stone. This wall posesses most of the features of a castle wall, though it is constructed from cheeper inferior stone. It would pose a minor chalange for an attacking army, though it's clear the wall's true purpose is to crush the hopes of bandits and marauders. Odíhg Íhmiewi̊v's failry decent fortifications are suffering from significent damage, so much so that examples can be pointed to no matter which section one might have within their line of site, and most of which render sections inoperable at present.

Odíhg Íhmiewi̊v has a very calm atmosphere. People can be seen relaxing, scocilizing, and going about all manner of business other than the daily grind. Men, women, children, all can be seen enjoying life in a laid-back way in the many parks which line Odíhg Íhmiewi̊v’s streets. A look around Odíhg Íhmiewi̊v has something terribly wrong with it. It’s impossible to put one’s finger on, but something is horribly wrong. Maybe it’s the way fog blankets the ground, but only in the connors of places. Maybe it’s the vermin scutteling between shadows in the corner of your eyes. Perhaps it’s the overcast sky which seemed to creep out of nowhere, or the distant howling of wolves. Maybe it’s everything together. Regardless, you do not feel it would be wise to remain in Odíhg Íhmiewi̊v long.
