Points of Interest

While private tutelage of worthy apprentices can be had even in most remote villages, Chyameya Bîdû Dubâ is home to a proper school dedicated to teaching magic. Such schools are usually small, with no more than a few dozen pupils, most of whom will fail for lack of talent or discipline. The instructors are rarely first-rate, usually serving only for the pay and status, but sometimes a genius sorcerer will find a reason to observe likely apprentices here. Given the unfortunate accident potential of the school, it’s probably isolated or well-fortified.

Due to a magical anomaly, Chyameya Bîdû Dubâ is directly accessible from a nearby river, despite the lack of a physical connection between the town's pond and the river.

History

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century the Kami granted the town a great harvest. One of Chyameya Bîdû Dubâ's local festivals commemorates this miracle.
