History

A vast influx of newcomers over the last (31789 % 6)+1 years has greatly spiked Fìkh Skvi Wæb's population. They may have been drawn by economic opportunities, or fled some pursuing peril, or been forcibly moved there by a ruler who wanted to dilute the existing native cohesion. The natives may not have the resources or opportunities to integrate these newcomers, and it may be that the new population has no desire to stay longer than is necessary.

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the early 2nd century, Fìkh Skvi Wæb was attacked by members of a peasant revolt. The details of the conflict are hazy at best due to many conflicting accounts. What is known is Fìkh Skvi Wæb lost 177 people, 274 livestock, and 28 buildings. The conflict ended after roughly 109, when members of Fìkh Skvi Wæb's militia enacted an operation to scout a specific location for information about a particular production site. The operation was complicated by one of the key objectives in the operation requiring sticking to a very strict and short time table.

The war is remembered in legend by Fìkh Skvi Wæb's bards, historians, and legend keepers.
