History

Fezyan-olè Fêqê's residents established a new industry (6835 % 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 early 2nd century a great windstorm struck Fezyan-olè Fêqê. Its winds were so great they picked up unsecured objects and flung them with enough force to smash brick and skull alike. Buildings collapsed under the gale, burying countless people alive. The storm's devistation was focused on the area arround Fezyan-olè Fêqê, which lost 144 people, 380, and 99 livestock in the disaster.. History remembers the strom as The Storm of Mourning.
