Overview

Yêmëyê-cakè Fêqê was founded durring the early 12th century in spring of the year 1143, by Brèbè Trtheshë. The establishment of Yêmëyê-cakè Fêqê was only bairly constructed. The sheer number of problems with its founding were enough to make several of the backers funding Yêmëyê-cakè Fêqê's construction back out of the project. Brèbè Trtheshë pushed on reguardles, and Yêmëyê-cakè Fêqê was finished, but starts off as a terible place to live.

Yêmëyê-cakè Fêqê was built using the conventions of Iron Elven durring the early 12th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Yêmëyê-cakè Fêqê 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.

Yêmëyê-cakè Fêqê is buildings are arranged arround a network of premissive cobblestone streets which form a 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 resides behind a palisade wall complete with battlments, a moat, and timber gatehouses with drawbridges. The town's robustly designed timber walls 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.

Yêmëyê-cakè Fêqê is, in a word, disorder. People seem to be allowed to do as they please with little harmoney to anything.

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.
