Cultural Notes

Qíhmàcíhwsa Se's garrison was built using a different architectural style from the rest of the town. The style used is best known for the combined use of arcuated and trabeated construction, employing arches and constructed with post and lintel. The arch served as the style's chief structural element, with flanking columns serving as buttresses or decorations. While the general shape of their structures could be generously described as simplistic, the use of these arches and columns created a most distinct ascetic which is easily distinguishable on sight to armatures and experts alike.

Points of Interest

Qíhmàcíhwsa Se is remarkably well-fortified for a site of its size and role. Tall, stout walls, strong points inside the community, concentric defenses, a strategic terrain location, or a large body of standing troops might be present. Some threat is thought to exist that makes maintaining this fortification worthwhile, though it may come at a dear cost to the locals. The community’s suzerain may be uncomfortable with these defenses, as they could just as easily be used to defy the ruler.

History

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century, Qíhmàcíhwsa Se was attacked by members of a peasant revolt. The details of the conflict are hazy at best due to many conflicting accounts. What is known is Qíhmàcíhwsa Se lost 150 people, 273 livestock, and 37 buildings. The conflict ended after roughly 48, when members of Qíhmàcíhwsa Se's militia enacted an operation to construct defenses in a particular vault. The operation was complicated by a key segment of the operation that deepened entirely on a stealth mission going perfectly. The conflict ended with needing to break through the enemy's lines, which ended in defeat for Qíhmàcíhwsa Se's forces. The war is remembered in legend by Qíhmàcíhwsa Se's bards, historians, and legend keepers.
