History

Almost every community has some problem with bandits and highwaymen, but Habelà Lû Mîze is seriously plagued with raiders. One or more groups of persistent plunderers are hitting the community repeatedly, and they lack the necessary resources to fend them off or protect all their holdings.

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century after an anomalously snowy winter, runoff from snow-melt caused Pond Glendive to overflow its banks and spill into Stream Rolling. The resulting flood was isolated to the area around Habelà Lû Mîze, which was swallowed by the waters for several days. Habelà Lû Mîze lost 125 people, 197 livestock, and 92 buildings in the disaster. The disaster is remembered as the Calamity Drownings.
