Overview

Tḩāwp̪f Ńer̄ca̋y Kēä was founded durring the late 14th century in fall of the year 1279, by Fyêyèj Dyèj Fyêrèlê. The establishment of Tḩāwp̪f Ńer̄ca̋y Kēä suffered from several major issues, resulting in the need to develop many solutions to basic problems.

Tḩāwp̪f Ńer̄ca̋y Kēä was built using the conventions of Goblin durring the late 14th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Tḩāwp̪f Ńer̄ca̋y Kēä is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature plaster covered brickwork used to form structures with an emphasis on symmetry, proportion, geometry and the regularity of parts. Orderly arrangements of columns, pilasters and lintels, as well as the use of semicircular arches, hemispherical domes, niches and aediculae can be found everywhere such that only size of building and yard can be used to measure the general prosparity of a given building's owners due to a general wealthy feeling the style gives off.

Tḩāwp̪f Ńer̄ca̋y Kēä is buildings are speckled and packed arround premissive cobblestone streets with seemingly no patern to them. It appears as if the town's residents simply built streets as they pleased and squeazed buildings in wherever and howeave rpossible, creating an organic, frustrating to navigate, maze of a town. The town sits behind an impressive looking clay brick wall. The wall is notable for querried stone blocks being used to renforce the clay bricks in the expected manner and locations. While the wall was built to the exact specifications of modern fortifications, one has to wonder why the money invested into creating such a well fortified wall wasnt spent on a less impressive looking wall crated from sturdier materials. Tḩāwp̪f Ńer̄ca̋y Kēä's walls would endure a brief bombardment, but only from light siege weapons. It seems more likly the town's walls were not designed with defence in mind but rather lending the town a certain air with visitors. The town's boondoggle-of-a-fortified wall 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.
