Points of Interest

Fëpifk-sîqê Bî is cursed with recurrent spells of some troublesome disease. The affliction isn’t so fatal as to make living there impossible, but it adds suffering and expense to local lives. The plague might be the product of an ancient curse, the results of long lost toxic remains, or an unavoidable byproduct of whatever industry or purpose justifies the city. It’s probably not overly contagious, but visitors may be in some peril all the same.

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century the Kami spared the town a natural disaster. One of Fëpifk-sîqê Bî's local festivals commemorates this miracle.
