Overview
Vifi̊iē̼ Se was founded durring the late 12th century in spring of the year 1097, by Tshèsî Every. The establishment of Vifi̊iē̼ Se was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Vifi̊iē̼ Se's construction back out of the project. Tshèsî Every pushed on reguardles, and Vifi̊iē̼ Se was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.
Vifi̊iē̼ Se was built using the conventions of Tauric durring the late 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Vifi̊iē̼ Se 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.
Vifi̊iē̼ Se is buildings are built arround a single crampt flagstone mainstreet which forms a counterclockwise spiral to give the town a over all circular shape. 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specifications of millitary fortifications, but the nature of its clay brick construction leaves it vulnerable to even outdated siege equipment.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 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.
A look around Vifi̊iē̼ Se is like a look into a broken heart which long ago fell to corruption. There is no planning, no organization. Everyone here clearly goes about their own thing with little thought to anyone around them who isn’t selling something they need… unless of course, they would be an easy target for some robbery. The town has truly fallen to evil.

Everyone around them is fighting for the chance to exploit this clever new plan.
In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the early 2nd century an otherwise minor earthquake shifted Stream Sandy.

The disaster is remembered as the Loss Drownings.
