Overview

Sdo Drark-gháp was founded durring the early 9th century, by Vur Tununzic Tibe. The establishment of Sdo Drark-gháp was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Sdo Drark-gháp's construction back out of the project. Vur Tununzic Tibe pushed on reguardles, and Sdo Drark-gháp was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Sdo Drark-gháp was built using the conventions of Wood Elven durring the early 9th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Sdo Drark-gháp is no diffrent. The metropolis'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.

Sdo Drark-gháp is is constructed arround a series of spacious worn bedrock mainstreets which form overlapping circles, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to eachother at varrious points. The byou metropolis rests behind a thick wall made from clay bricks. The wall has all of the proper fortifications and is well made. Unfortuantly the nature of clay brick leaves it quite vulnerable to siege equipment, though the thickness of the wall lends it simmilar resistnace to a thinner hardrock wall. The metropolis's millitarily questionable fortifications are visibly old, but also obviously maintained semi-regularly. Its likly the local malishia or garrison are tasked with ocasional mantance of the metropoliss defences.
