Faesh

Dragon Overlord: Raeixssiss

Founding
Faesh is a city of humble origins. The founding Dragonborn were hunters and gatherers in the swamp to the east of the Vethixen volcano. These first settlers chose a place where two mountain springs meet and began to build their new city, Faesh. Shortly after, Raeixssiss the Black Dragon began to watch over the fledgling settlement.

Architecture
The buildings of the Black City have a look that blends the traditional roots of the swamp with a more modern style architecture. A majority of the buildings in the city are not built of stone, but rather built of a strong wood imbued with primal magic. As well many buildings are not built upon the ground but rather suspended by scaffolding to allow for the biannual flooding of the rivers.

Culture
Due to a lack of wide open space, the culture of the Black City is very different that most of the Empire. Rather than nuclear families living in their own homes, entire clans share huge clan-houses. Some of these are over 400 feet long and house 100 or more Dragonborn.

Current Events
With the recent destruction of the Red City, Faesh has seen a huge influx of refugees from the volcano. These new inhabitants of the area are not used to living such in such close quarters and so have begun clearing out huge tracts of the swamp to create a new district primarily built on the flattened and drained swamp floor.
