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.

That said, the town is well defended against anything short of an army. Odíhg Vorjíh's brittle defences are in an unremarkable state. To some, this is the ideal sate for defences to be in.

Efforts are made to make you feel welcome, but only in the public areas of the town, particularly the market.
