Overview

Wæm Aw-36y Ǐrwikhka was founded durring the early 18th century in late summer of the year 1722, by Amarthel Breg̈kèbm. The establishment of Wæm Aw-36y Ǐrwikhka was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Wæm Aw-36y Ǐrwikhka's construction back out of the project. Amarthel Breg̈kèbm pushed on reguardles, and Wæm Aw-36y Ǐrwikhka was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Wæm Aw-36y Ǐrwikhka was built using the conventions of Constructi durring the early 18th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Wæm Aw-36y Ǐrwikhka is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature waddle and daub construction with good timber frames and a stone foundation protected by thatched or shingled rooves. Most buildings with second floors are built in such a way as to overhang into the streets on the upper floors for more space, as building size seems to be the primary indicator of wealth within the community. Most buildings are not decorated with any integral features, but instead use ivy, flowers, and other natural elements in planters of on trellices to breathe life into the structure they grow upon.

Wæm Aw-36y Ǐrwikhka is buildings are grouped arround an odd layout of spacious packed earth streets, which seems to be based on an overlapping squair patern such that there are small squares at the cornor of every bigger square. Sometimes buildings exist in the smaller squaires, other times they are open spaces, or occupied by temporary structures. 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specifications of millitary fortifications, but the nature of its clay brick construction leaves it vulnerable to even outdated siege equipment.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 brittle defences have not been wellmaintained over the years, and while functional are in dire need of some loving care and perhapse light renovation.

Right off the bat Wæm Aw-36y Ǐrwikhka hits you in the face with its success. Everyone, even the peasants, are dressed in well made clothing. Every tool and implement you can see is finely made, and people will boast to you as obvious strangers of the wonders which can be found in their markets. More interestingly is a total lack of beggars, and plenty of new buildings are going up even as you speak. Somehow this town has come into quite a lot of wealth, and recently from the looks of things. Precisely how it has gained its wealth is a mystery. Wæm Aw-36y Ǐrwikhka is, in a word, disorder. People seem to be allowed to do as they please with little harmoney to anything. It feels less like a town, and more like a spot people just happened to place their homes. Yet there are small elements here and there which show the underlying structure of the community. It’s just so complex, organic, and flowing one can only understand what is a piece of the puzzle, but not what its neighbors are.

The locals often repair the road by putting down wooden decking.
