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.

The style used little to no embellishment or ornamentation, instead drawing attention to the streamlined design, such as flat roofs to create a simple, geometric look. The simplicity masks the style's nearly sinister functionality, as every last feature is designed to guide the people living in the building in how to make the most efficient use of the structure.

History

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century, Odíhg Sucfoj was attacked by a slaver gang capable of fielding large forces. The details of the conflict are hazy at best due to many conflicting accounts. What is known is Odíhg Sucfoj lost 271 people, 274 livestock, and 40 buildings. The conflict ended after roughly 96, when members of Odíhg Sucfoj's militia enacted an operation to escort a particular solgiers group to a safe location. The operation was complicated by the army being put into a position where they could only choose between two terrible options. The conflict ended with a last stand against the enemy until a particular event occurred, which ended in a crushing defeat for Odíhg Sucfoj's forces. The war is remembered in legend by Odíhg Sucfoj's bards, historians, and legend keepers.
