Overview

Shêg̈atî-recivi Fêqê was founded durring the early 12th century in spring of the year 1121, by Annie Brthê. The establishment of Shêg̈atî-recivi Fêqê was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Shêg̈atî-recivi Fêqê's construction back out of the project. Annie Brthê pushed on reguardles, and Shêg̈atî-recivi Fêqê was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Shêg̈atî-recivi Fêqê was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Shêg̈atî-recivi Fêqê 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.

Shêg̈atî-recivi Fêqê is buildings are arranged arround a network of spacious cobblestone streets which form a 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 is protected by a well-crafted cobblestone fence tall enough to provide adiquite cover for defenders to fire from, but no more than that. Unfortuantly, these frontieer-style defences are in extreem disrepair, so much so that one cannot tell if they are decaying from a lack of mantance or damage incured.

Looking around Shêg̈atî-recivi Fêqê you immediately realise that the locals are looking back at you. All of them. Everywhere you look somone is staring back at you analytically, looking over every inch of you, your gear, and your companions. As you get close to people, their hands move closer to their belt knife, or dagger. You may want to watch where you go and what you say...
