Overview

Rëmî-fêfi Bî was founded durring the late 11th century, by Ga̋sh Ermé̄sh 'Lisso Kimber' Réōsh Cúńó̄ Bé̄y Èlêm. The establishment of Rëmî-fêfi Bî was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Rëmî-fêfi Bî's construction back out of the project. Ga̋sh Ermé̄sh 'Lisso Kimber' Réōsh Cúńó̄ Bé̄y Èlêm pushed on reguardles, and Rëmî-fêfi Bî was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Rëmî-fêfi Bî was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the late 11th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Rëmî-fêfi Bî is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature masoned stone construction which prominantly features pointed arches, pointed ribbed vault cielings, flying buttress', and window tracery all of which share a simmilar gemoetetic patern halfway between organic and inorganic in design formaing a very distinct aesthetically integrated style. BUildings tend to reach for the havens, and more expencive homes are easily identified by their floor count as well as the addition of decorative features intigrated into the building's design such as statues, gargoyals, and embelished joinery.

Rëmî-fêfi Bî is is constructed arround a series of crampt gravel mainstreets which form overlapping circles, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to eachother at varrious points. The town resides behind a palisade wall complete with battlments, a moat, and timber gatehouses with drawbridges. The robustly designed timber walls 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.

A look around Rëmî-fêfi Bî is like a look into a broken heart which long ago fell to corruption. There is no planning, no organization.

The town has truly fallen to evil.
