Points of Interest
Edi-ilèdi Fêqê has been cursed with some blight that makes life difficult, albeit not impossible. An offended sorcerer's vengeful Working, an outraged god's wrath, a local distortion of the Legacy, or a simple history of bad feng shui in the area may have brought the curse about. I(devise not only the curse, but the reason why the locals haven't left for better lands).
Edi-ilèdi Fêqê is known for its odd use of round-a-bouts, small ring roads used in place of intersections.
