Overview

Shusckye Chägbu Ÿhkphÿh was founded durring the early 13th century in fall of the year 1150, by Nania. The establishment of Shusckye Chägbu Ÿhkphÿh was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Shusckye Chägbu Ÿhkphÿh's construction back out of the project. Nania pushed on reguardles, and Shusckye Chägbu Ÿhkphÿh was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Shusckye Chägbu Ÿhkphÿh was built using the conventions of Undermountain durring the early 13th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Shusckye Chägbu Ÿhkphÿh 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.

Shusckye Chägbu Ÿhkphÿh is buildings are arranged arround a single premissive paverstone mainstreet with many smaller streets branching off of it which gives the city a over all rectangular shape, albit one warped and twisted by the nature of the curves of the main road. 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. Astonishigly, the millitarily questionable fortifications are in pristine condishion, as if they had just been finished before you laied eyes upon them.

A look around Shusckye Chägbu Ÿhkphÿh is like a look into a broken heart. There is no planning, no organization. Everyone here clearly goes about their own thing with little thought to anyone around them who isn’t selling something they need. It’s not malicious. Heads are hung. Eyes are empty. Something truly horrible happened here once upon a time and the city never healed.
