Overview

Thîmîqê-cesêtê Dêtîkè was founded durring the late 11th century, by Masdrogith Gadshe. The establishment of Thîmîqê-cesêtê Dêtîkè was plagued by a lack of willing colonists. After attempts to pay people to resettle failed Masdrogith Gadshe struck deals with nearby nations and communities to establish Thîmîqê-cesêtê Dêtîkè as a prison colony.

Thîmîqê-cesêtê Dêtîkè was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the late 11th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Thîmîqê-cesêtê 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.

Thîmîqê-cesêtê Dêtîkè is buildings are arranged arround a network of crampt gravel streets which form a diagonal shaped 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 rests behind the absurdity that is a thick, timber braced, wall made of clay bricks. While visualy impressive and certainly an astetic, Thîmîqê-cesêtê Dêtîkè's wall provides no actual defence against siege equipment due to the choice of its cosntruction materials. Even nonexperts can tell the town is trying to impress rather than defend with its walls, towers, and gatehouses. Though admittedly, they do look nice... To primitive tribals who have never seen fortifications before. Thîmîqê-cesêtê Dêtîkè's political statment focused walls has sufferd soem light damage, reducing its function a little in some spots, but could almsot certainly preform as expected... Though some of the worse spots could lead to the loss of defenders lives if attackers identified the weaknesses ahead of time.

Even the most brief look arround Thîmîqê-cesêtê Dêtîkè has a good chance of putting a church or shrine into the center of your view. The town is most certainly a god fearing community. It’s also definitely a god loving community. THe streetcornors are occupied by preachers, with the occasional intersection playing host to an actually friendly debate relating to the merits of various gods. Even the less popular as well as the less politically loved gods seem to have a space in Thîmîqê-cesêtê Dêtîkè, there’s even shrines to gods known to the region only through hearsay.

Points of Interest

Thîmîqê-cesêtê Dêtîkè has been cursed with some blight that makes life difficult, albeit not impossible. An offended sorcerer's vengeful Working, an outraged god's wrath, a local distortion of the Legacy, or a simple history of bad feng shui in the area may have brought the curse about. I(devise not only the curse, but the reason why the locals haven't left for better lands).

Due to a magical anomaly, Thîmîqê-cesêtê Dêtîkè is directly accessible from a nearby river, despite the lack of a physical connection between the town's pond and the river.

History

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the early 2nd century, Thîmîqê-cesêtê Dêtîkè was attacked by organized criminals with significant wealth and power. The details of the conflict are hazy at best due to many conflicting accounts. What is known is Thîmîqê-cesêtê Dêtîkè lost 265 people, 273 livestock, and 69 buildings. The conflict ended after roughly 184, when members of Thîmîqê-cesêtê Dêtîkè's militia enacted an operation to deliver supplies to a particular irregulars group. The operation was complicated by one of the key objectives in the operation requiring sticking to a very strict and short time table. The conflict ended with pitched battle between both forces, which ended in defeat for Thîmîqê-cesêtê Dêtîkè's forces. The war is remembered in legend by Thîmîqê-cesêtê Dêtîkè's bards, historians, and legend keepers.
