History

Biwsush Se is still bloodied by a recent violent conflict. A crushing bandit raid, a lost siege, getting caught at the periphery of a major battle, or some other calamity has inflicted severe damage on the place. Some communities may suffer a longer-term version of this, their youths lost in a grinding, endless battle against some perpetual threat.

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century an unusualy harsh winter spawned a deadly blizard to Biwsush Se. The ice, snow, and wind killed 102 people, 364 livestock, and destroyed 67. The event is remembered as Woe's Breath.
