History
Ëyê-kivêda Bî's residents established a new industry (13714 % 6)+1 years ago, and it’s making them a great deal of profit. Old patterns of authority and wealth are being disrupted, and the old gentry are unlikely to be pleased about it. They may be trying to take over the industry, or they may have been the ones to enable it in the first place and are using it to crush the life out of any rival power bases. Outsiders might be playing a major role as well, and it could be they plot to siphon off the profits.
In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century the Kami ended a drought plaguing Ëyê-kivêda Bî. One of Ëyê-kivêda Bî's local festivals commemorates this miracle.
