Qàchî U̽nu̽ Mîze is buildings folow an organic layout of crampt cobblestone streets whihch gives the town a shape simmilar to a tree, if one views its streets from above. 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. Qàchî U̽nu̽ Mîze's walls would endure a brief bombardment, but only from light siege weapons.

In need of absoutly nothing, and ready to serve the town as needed.
