Overview

Píê-îshë Sêdè was founded durring the late 12th century in spring of the year 1071, by Zêthëm. The establishment of Píê-îshë Sêdè was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Píê-îshë Sêdè's construction back out of the project. Zêthëm pushed on reguardles, and Píê-îshë Sêdè was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Píê-îshë Sêdè was built using the conventions of Iron Elf durring the late 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Píê-îshë Sêdè is no diffrent. The city'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.

Píê-îshë Sêdè is buildings are arranged arround a network of premissive flagstone streets which form a diamond shaped grid, where each diamond verries in size given the proximity of the paralell streets forming each section. The ocasional smaller diamond has been used to construct a park, plaza, and other communal structures. The city posesses a mighty albit amaturly crafted stone wall. It was built using querried stone blocks and posesses all of the standard defencive features, including a few watch towers. While it would last against a siege, the wall's outdated and simplistic construction method percludes the possability of Píê-îshë Sêdè weathering a full scale bombardment durring a siege. Píê-îshë Sêdè's budget focused millitary grade defenses are in an unremarkable state. To some, this is the ideal sate for defences to be in. In need of absoutly nothing, and ready to serve the city as needed.

Píê-îshë Sêdè has the unmistakable air of a city on its last legs. Everything is a bit slipshod and ramshackle. Everyone is at work, or drinking. No one has anything in their eyes other than fear and despair. Whatever industry once fueled Píê-îshë Sêdè ’s existence has dried up and the city is drifting down the stream of history as it dries up.
