Overview

Thëcê-êkè Dêtîkè was founded durring the early 14th century in spring of the year 1335, by Shilel Fyeg̈g̈. The establishment of Thëcê-êkè Dêtîkè was somewhat plagued by a lack of willing colonists, leading to Shilel Fyeg̈g̈ electing to pay people to resettle in Thëcê-êkè Dêtîkè.

Thëcê-êkè Dêtîkè was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 14th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Thëcê-êkè Dêtîkè is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature timber framed wooden shiethed or brick construction, which gives form to a very formalized, rational, expence effishent arcatectural style based on strictly symmetrical designs which universaly feature pitched roofs, shutters, and the occasional column or pilaster for a decorative touch.

Thëcê-êkè Dêtîkè is buildings are arranged arround a network of crampt worn bedrock 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 resides behind a palisade wall complete with battlments, a moat, and timber gatehouses with drawbridges. Unfortuantly, these robustly designed timber walls are in extreem disrepair, so much so that one cannot tell if they are decaying from a lack of mantance or damage incured.

Thëcê-êkè Dêtîkè has a very calm atmosphere. People can be seen relaxing, scocilizing, and going about all manner of business other than the daily grind. Men, women, children, all can be seen enjoying life in a laid-back way in the many parks which line Thëcê-êkè Dêtîkè’s streets. Yet, deep down, you know this atmosphere is a carefully created illusion. You can see the ocasional seam in their tapestry. You’re not sure what has them doing their best to act so carefree, but act carefree they do.
