Overview

Shähhä Hänzle Ckez was founded durring the early 16th century in summer of the year 1533, by Trêyesm Nuldzafral. The establishment of Shähhä Hänzle Ckez suffered from many setbacks, delays, and obsticles, most notably a group of Shähhä Hänzle Ckez which required millitary assistance exterminate before the community could finish being built.

Shähhä Hänzle Ckez was built using the conventions of Dwarvern durring the early 16th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Shähhä Hänzle Ckez is no diffrent. The town'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.

Shähhä Hänzle Ckez is buildings are arranged arround a network of restrictive paverstone streets which form a diagonal shaped grid, where each square verries in size given the proximity of the paralell streets forming each section. The ocasional smaller square has been used to construct a park, plaza, and other communal structures. The town 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. Shähhä Hänzle Ckez's millitarily questionable fortifications has sufferd soem light damage, reducing its function a little in some spots, but could almsot certainly preform as expected... Though some of the worse spots could lead to the loss of defenders lives if attackers identified the weaknesses ahead of time.

A look around Shähhä Hänzle Ckez shows Shähhä Hänzle Ckez is little more than a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Birbes can be seen changing hands openly, such that it must be customary to do so and must have been for a long time. The locals have no fear, no annoyance at the state of things, it simply is.
