Kemp Hyläböm (town)

About

Names

Kemp Hyläböm - Kemp's Bluff

A small Kythan free-town on the Celvan River. The town proper is located on an island that splits the river into twin falls, and the town ascends the steep cliff in a series of ledges and switch‑back streets. As one of the only reasonably safe points to ascend the escarpment, Kemp Hyläböm holds strategic import for travel and trade between the coast and the interior of Kythus.

Location

Karelëa Province, Kythus

The town is located on the great escarpment of the same name, where the Celvan River forms a twin waterfall.

Local Government

Flätäzaëdhëna

Ëthëvna Kallëus

Klëpëdhëmü

The town has a small council of elected officials which see to the bureaucratic needs of the town. This council elects a Flätäzaëdhë - Town-Master - from amongst their ranks to be the town's leader. Elections occur every five years unless the death of a councillor or the alderman shortens this period, requiring a by-election. Historically councillors have been from the richer guildpersons or nobles dwelling within the town.

The current town klëpëdhëmü - wise-masters - are:

• Drekäva (treasurer)
• Ejena Ethyger (councillor)
• Hähna Adhoah (councillor)
• Lyfeva Pälëźäpäwru (councillor)
• Tëkana Tröpexule (councillor)
• Thäthava (councillor)

History

Founded

684 YG

Kemp Hylaböm was granted a royal charter, declared a free town and granted the right to self rule, being subject only to royal law, in 684 YG. Üprewyna Sköharna II decided this was necessary to prevent regional Wynü from fighting over the strategic location.
