Overview

Tas Ru Ner was founded durring the late 12th century in fall of the year 1072, by Bikninu Phandroc. The establishment of Tas Ru Ner was somewhat plagued by a lack of willing colonists, leading to Bikninu Phandroc electing to pay people to resettle in Tas Ru Ner.

Tas Ru Ner was built using the conventions of Wood Elven durring the late 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Tas Ru Ner 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.

Tas Ru Ner is is constructed arround a series of spacious paverstone mainstreets which form concentric circles, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to each other at varrious points. The town sits behind a stone-renforced palisade wall, with stone gatehouses and timber drawbridges for their trench. Astonishigly, the would-be-castle fortifications are in pristine condishion, as if they had just been finished before you laied eyes upon them.

Tas Ru Ner has the unmistakable air of a town on its last legs. Everything is a bit slipshod and ramshackle. Everyone is at work, or drinking. No one has anything in their eyes other than fear and despair. Whatever industry once fueled Tas Ru Ner ’s existence has dried up and the town is drifting down the stream of history as it dries up. Likely due to this, Tas Ru Ner is, in a word, disorder. People seem to be allowed to do as they please with little harmoney to anything. It feels less like a town, and more like a spot people just happened to have homes. One cannot help but wonder what Tas Ru Ner was like during the glorydays.

As the neighboring regions had no water so spare, Tas Ru Ner lost 231 people, and 271 livestock in the disaster.. The drought lasted for 4 weeks, which are remembered as the Heartache Thirst.
