Overview

Yaw̄g Ńoīcer Kēä was founded durring the early 16th century in spring of the year 1505, by Cary Anwen Siân. The establishment of Yaw̄g Ńoīcer Kēä was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Yaw̄g Ńoīcer Kēä's construction back out of the project. Cary Anwen Siân pushed on reguardles, and Yaw̄g Ńoīcer Kēä was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Yaw̄g Ńoīcer Kēä was built using the conventions of Goblin durring the early 16th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Yaw̄g Ńoīcer Kēä 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.

Yaw̄g Ńoīcer Kēä is buildings are arranged arround a single narrow carved bedrock mainstreet with many smaller streets branching off of it which gives the town a over all rectangular shape, albit one warped and twisted by the nature of the curves of the main road. The town lacks any defencive features, though certainly constructing even a simple fence or digging a ditch is at the forefront of the 's mind. At least, one would hope so.

A look around Yaw̄g Ńoīcer Kēä has something terribly wrong with it. It’s impossible to put one’s finger on, but something is horribly wrong. Maybe it’s the way fog blankets the ground, but only in the connors of places. Maybe it’s the vermin scuttling between shadows in the corner of your eyes. Perhaps it’s the overcast sky which seemed to creep out of nowhere, or the distant howling of wolves. Maybe it’s all of those things together, or perhaps it's the way these elements combine which makes you worry someone might stab you in a dark ally for your boots. It’s not filthy, or dark, but the smiles seem strained, the locals seem to glare daggers in eachothers backs a little too much, and everyone is armed at all times. You may want to keep an eye on your valuables, and make sure you don’t wind up in any position of power. Regardless, you do not feel it would be wise to remain in Yaw̄g Ńoīcer Kēä long.
