Ohêvî-dêtê Jëqê Dêtîkè was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the late 13th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Ohêvî-dêtê Jëqê Dêtîkè is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature timber framed wooden shiethed or brick construction, which gives form to a very formalized, rational, expence effishent arcatectural style based on strictly symmetrical designs which universaly feature pitched roofs, shutters, and the occasional column or pilaster for a decorative touch.
Ohêvî-dêtê Jëqê Dêtîkè is buildings have been located at convienant points along the cliff Ohêvî-dêtê Jëqê Dêtîkè was built upon. Navigating the town is therefore a little chalanging as the distance between buildings verris greatly and the narrow gravel streets flow where they are able to be made rather than folowing the most convienant paths. The town resides behind a palisade wall complete with battlments, a moat, and timber gatehouses with drawbridges. The robustly designed timber walls have not been wellmaintained over the years, and while functional are in dire need of some loving care and perhapse light renovation.
