Overview

Ære Hûzu̹ Kâchyâ was founded durring the early 17th century in early spring of the year 1609, by Coīń̄ Bé̄wmē 'Boo Delilah' Yawm Cúóchīr Vúoī. The establishment of the new community went well, with no major obsticles durring construction.

Ære Hûzu̹ Kâchyâ was built using the conventions of Rattu durring the early 17th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Ære Hûzu̹ Kâchyâ is no diffrent. The city'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.

Ære Hûzu̹ Kâchyâ is buildings are arranged arrounded highly ordered system of broad cobblestone streets which form hexical paterns, allowing the incides of the octagons to be common grounds for the buildings on the edges, be it for parkland, yardspace, plazas, or markets. The city rests behind a thin stone wall. The wall's design was likly directly copied from a castle's parmiter defences. It's simply that the arcatect made Ære Hûzu̹ Kâchyâ's wall substancialy thinner than a castle's walls. While the towers and gatehouses are adiquite, the obvious cost savings measure of making the walls drasticaly thinner reduces their ability to resist siege weapons greatly. The city's impressive-looking wall could fail at a critical moment in battle, and would likely not even resist a few bandits with improvised siege equipment. The budget oriented have not been wellmaintained over the years, and while functional are in dire need of some loving care and perhapse light renovation.

The arch served as the style's chief structural element, with flanking columns serving as buttresses or decorations.

Ære Hûzu̹ Kâchyâ's citizens partake in a curious ritual relating to their local kami. It takes place in summer and involves sacrificing an animal to channel Summoning energies of tier 2 via recitation of poetic epics.
