Overview

Thëlës-dêhêlê Fêqê was founded durring the late 13th century in winter of the year 1177, by Mēsh Dā̄sh 'Sweetmess Entice' Mp̪ftór Sé̄kīb Bé̄ Dyêyêm. The establishment of Thëlës-dêhêlê Fêqê was somewhat plagued by a lack of willing colonists, leading to Mēsh Dā̄sh 'Sweetmess Entice' Mp̪ftór Sé̄kīb Bé̄ Dyêyêm electing to pay people to resettle in Thëlës-dêhêlê Fêqê.

Thëlës-dêhêlê Fêqê was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the late 13th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Thëlës-dêhêlê Fêqê is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature masoned stone construction which prominantly features pointed arches, pointed ribbed vault cielings, flying buttress', and window tracery all of which share a simmilar gemoetetic patern halfway between organic and inorganic in design formaing a very distinct aesthetically integrated style. BUildings tend to reach for the havens, and more expencive homes are easily identified by their floor count as well as the addition of decorative features intigrated into the building's design such as statues, gargoyals, and embelished joinery.

Thëlës-dêhêlê Fêqê is buildings have been located at convienant points along the pond Thëlës-dêhêlê Fêqê was built upon. Navigating the town is therefore a little chalanging as the distance between buildings verris greatly and the restrictive split-log ties streets flow where they are able to be made rather than folowing the most convienant paths. The town has a defencive wall made from large clay bricks. The wall is constructed to the exact specifications of millitary fortifications, but the nature of its clay brick construction leaves it vulnerable to even outdated siege equipment. That said, the town is well defended against anything short of an army. The town's brittle defences have recently undergone extensive repairs and renovations, such that the repairwork is imeadiently apparent and can be spotted due to the diffring ages of materials. One can't help but wonder what brought the need for those repairs to the town.

You may want to keep an eye on your valuables, and make sure you don’t wind up in any position of power.
