Overview

Seówm Rē̄r Ni̋ēkēä was founded durring the late 18th century in late winter of the year 1681, by Hahrurth Isia Grovgez. The establishment of Seówm Rē̄r Ni̋ēkēä was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Seówm Rē̄r Ni̋ēkēä's construction back out of the project. Hahrurth Isia Grovgez pushed on reguardles, and Seówm Rē̄r Ni̋ēkēä was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Seówm Rē̄r Ni̋ēkēä was built using the conventions of Goblin durring the late 18th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Seówm Rē̄r Ni̋ēkēä is no diffrent. The city's buildings feature delicute timber framework hidden behind layer upon layer of finly ground plaster bleached to an almost glossy white sheen, with green clay tiled roofs and decorative brass-leafed trim. Even the smallest, poorest looking structures appear to be expencive thanks to the extreem elegence of the organic shapes and paterns going into their lofty, spire-y, vagly gothic designs. The more well off folks live in identicle homes, save for even shiner trim and a more whimsical appearance to their structures flowing forms.

Seówm Rē̄r Ni̋ēkēä is was constructed arround several restrictive cobblestone mainstreets which cross one another at certain axies, with smaller streets branching off of them to premit acess to the many buildings deeper into the road network. The overall fashion is remenessent of a circulatory system, or other organic construct, and is quite effishent in its design. The city 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. Seówm Rē̄r Ni̋ēkēä's millitarily questionable fortifications are in an unremarkable state. To some, this is the ideal sate for defences to be in. In need of absoutly nothing, and ready to serve the city as needed.

A look around Seówm Rē̄r Ni̋ēkēä has something terribly wrong with it. It’s impossible to put one’s finger on, but something is horribly wrong. Maybe it’s the way fog blankets the ground, but only in the connors of places. Maybe it’s the vermin scuttling between shadows in the corner of your eyes. Perhaps it’s the overcast sky which seemed to creep out of nowhere, or the distant howling of wolves. Maybe it’s all of those things together, or perhaps it's the way these elements combine with the simple fact that it is abundantly clear Seówm Rē̄r Ni̋ēkēä suffered something horrible some time ago. It's as if the town itself is depressed. Smiles are few, cheer is nowhere to be had. Everyone quietly goes about their daily business not looking anyone in the eye. Regardless, you do not feel it would be wise to remain in Seówm Rē̄r Ni̋ēkēä long.
