Overview

Odíhg Ststi̊sāt was founded durring the early 15th century in spring of the year 1449, by Zêrëkdshe Willins. The establishment of Odíhg Ststi̊sāt was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Odíhg Ststi̊sāt's construction back out of the project. Zêrëkdshe Willins pushed on reguardles, and Odíhg Ststi̊sāt was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Odíhg Ststi̊sāt was built using the conventions of Tauric durring the early 15th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Odíhg Ststi̊sāt 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 Ststi̊sāt is is constructed arround a series of broad paverstone mainstreets which form overlapping circles, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to eachother at varrious points. The town has a defencive wall made from large clay bricks. The wall is constructed to the exact specifications of millitary fortifications, but the nature of its clay brick construction leaves it vulnerable to even outdated siege equipment. That said, the town is well defended against anything short of an army. Odíhg Ststi̊sāt's brittle defences 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.
