Overview

Thèdalî-shêle Fêqê was founded durring the early 12th century in winter of the year 1127, by Glêlel Dyeshe. The establishment of Thèdalî-shêle Fêqê was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Thèdalî-shêle Fêqê's construction back out of the project. Glêlel Dyeshe pushed on reguardles, and Thèdalî-shêle Fêqê was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Thèdalî-shêle Fêqê was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Thèdalî-shêle Fêqê is no diffrent. The town'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.

Thèdalî-shêle Fêqê is buildings have been located at convienant points along the swamp Thèdalî-shêle Fêqê was built upon. Navigating the town is therefore a little chalanging as the distance between buildings verris greatly and the broad paverstone streets flow where they are able to be made rather than folowing the most convienant paths. The town posesses a mighty albit amaturly crafted stone wall. It was built using querried stone blocks and posesses all of the standard defencive features, including a few watch towers. While it would last against a siege, the wall's outdated and simplistic construction method percludes the possability of Thèdalî-shêle Fêqê weathering a full scale bombardment durring a siege. The town's budget focused millitary grade defenses are visibly old, but also obviously maintained semi-regularly. Its likly the local malishia or garrison are tasked with ocasional mantance of the towns defences.
