Overview

Rîhyi Dîche Kâchyâ was founded durring the early 14th century in fall of the year 1316, by Alphaen. The establishment of Rîhyi Dîche Kâchyâ was somewhat plagued by a lack of willing colonists, leading to Alphaen electing to pay people to resettle in Rîhyi Dîche Kâchyâ.

Rîhyi Dîche Kâchyâ was built using the conventions of Rattu durring the early 14th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Rîhyi Dîche Kâchyâ 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.

Rîhyi Dîche Kâchyâ is buildings are arranged arrounded highly ordered system of restrictive packed earth streets which form hexical paterns, allowing the incides of the octagons to be common grounds for the buildings on the edges, be it for parkland, yardspace, plazas, or markets. The city rests behind the absurdity that is a thick, timber braced, wall made of clay bricks. While visualy impressive and certainly an astetic, Rîhyi Dîche Kâchyâ's wall provides no actual defence against siege equipment due to the choice of its cosntruction materials. Even nonexperts can tell the town is trying to impress rather than defend with its walls, towers, and gatehouses. Though admittedly, they do look nice... To primitive tribals who have never seen fortifications before. The political statment focused walls have not been wellmaintained over the years, and while functional are in dire need of some loving care and perhapse light renovation.

Rîhyi Dîche Kâchyâ is not quite well. Something happened here, perhapse recently, perhapse long ago. Whatever it was, it settled into the very soul of the city like a festering wound. The people go about their day well enough, but there’s a tention in the air you can cut with a knife. You get the terrible feeling that whatever it was, the wound it left will simply never heal. This city is as a necropolice.

History

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century the Ûko Kàvæ Fields was struck by a drought when Pond Catemaco grew too small to continue feeding Waterway Wrinkled, which reduced the available water supply nationwide, but was especially harsh in the area arround Rîhyi Dîche Kâchyâ. As the neighboring regions had no water so spare, Rîhyi Dîche Kâchyâ lost 103 people, and 387 livestock in the disaster.. The drought lasted for 6 weeks, which are remembered as the Dread Thirst.
