Overview

Paw̄ Yeŏrmē Vǖy was founded durring the late 11th century, by Nīkī́̄̄̄ Da̋nḱ 'Chanel Roxy' Mbóch Mpfē̌sh Goidaw̋ch Ré̄shī Cä̋. The establishment of Paw̄ Yeŏrmē Vǖy was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Paw̄ Yeŏrmē Vǖy's construction back out of the project. Nīkī́̄̄̄ Da̋nḱ 'Chanel Roxy' Mbóch Mpfē̌sh Goidaw̋ch Ré̄shī Cä̋ pushed on reguardles, and Paw̄ Yeŏrmē Vǖy was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Paw̄ Yeŏrmē Vǖy was built using the conventions of Goblin durring the late 11th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Paw̄ Yeŏrmē Vǖy is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature delicute timber framework hidden behind layer upon layer of finly ground plaster bleached to an almost glossy white sheen, with green clay tiled roofs and decorative brass-leafed trim. Even the smallest, poorest looking structures appear to be expencive thanks to the extreem elegence of the organic shapes and paterns going into their lofty, spire-y, vagly gothic designs. The more well off folks live in identicle homes, save for even shiner trim and a more whimsical appearance to their structures flowing forms.

Paw̄ Yeŏrmē Vǖy is buildings are arranged arround a network of narrow cobblestone streets which form a grid, where each square verries in size given the proximity of the paralell streets forming each section. The ocasional smaller square has been used to construct a park, plaza, and other communal structures. The town sits behind an impressive looking clay brick wall. The wall is notable for querried stone blocks being used to renforce the clay bricks in the expected manner and locations. While the wall was built to the exact specifications of modern fortifications, one has to wonder why the money invested into creating such a well fortified wall wasnt spent on a less impressive looking wall crated from sturdier materials. Paw̄ Yeŏrmē Vǖy's walls would endure a brief bombardment, but only from light siege weapons. It seems more likly the town's walls were not designed with defence in mind but rather lending the town a certain air with visitors. The boondoggle-of-a-fortified wall has suffered a visible ammount of structural damage, leaving them effectivly useless. One can't help but wonder why the has not yet effected repairs.

Paw̄ Yeŏrmē Vǖy is, in a word, disorder. People seem to be allowed to do as they please with little harmoney to anything. It feels less like a town, and more like a spot people just happened to place their homes. Yet there are small elements here and there which show the underlying structure of the community. It’s just so complex, organic, and flowing one can only understand what is a piece of the puzzle, but not what its neighbors are.
