Overview

Qo-fopíaqê Fêqê was founded durring the early 13th century in fall of the year 1229, by Joīsh Ga̋ń̄r 'Bug Dee' Vú̄kīy Goidaw̋ch Sēsh Glkare. The establishment of Qo-fopíaqê Fêqê was plagued by a lack of willing colonists. After attempts to pay people to resettle failed Joīsh Ga̋ń̄r 'Bug Dee' Vú̄kīy Goidaw̋ch Sēsh Glkare struck deals with nearby nations and communities to establish Qo-fopíaqê Fêqê as a prison colony.

Qo-fopíaqê Fêqê was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 13th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Qo-fopíaqê Fêqê is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature plaster covered brickwork used to form structures with an emphasis on symmetry, proportion, geometry and the regularity of parts. Orderly arrangements of columns, pilasters and lintels, as well as the use of semicircular arches, hemispherical domes, niches and aediculae can be found everywhere such that only size of building and yard can be used to measure the general prosparity of a given building's owners due to a general wealthy feeling the style gives off.

Qo-fopíaqê Fêqê is buildings have been located at convienant points along the swamp Qo-fopíaqê Fêqê was built upon. Navigating the town is therefore a little chalanging as the distance between buildings verris greatly and the spacious paverstone streets flow where they are able to be made rather than folowing the most convienant paths. The town is the proud owner of a properly designed set of renforced walls made from mighty querried stone blocks. Their construction and material choices would make a dwarf weap with joy, for each and every part of the elaborate fortifications are purly functional and robust well byond reason. Even nonexperts can tell the walls are an excelent defencive structure. Unfortuantly, these exceptionaly well made fortifications are in extreem disrepair, so much so that one cannot tell if they are decaying from a lack of mantance or damage incured.

Qo-fopíaqê Fêqê has the unmistakable air of a town 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 Qo-fopíaqê Fêqê ’s existence has dried up and the town is drifting down the stream of history as it dries up. Likely due to this, Qo-fopíaqê Fêqê 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 have homes. One cannot help but wonder what Qo-fopíaqê Fêqê was like during the glorydays.
