History

A vast influx of newcomers over the last (14110 % 6)+1 years has greatly spiked Lèhê-dêtîkè Dêtîkè'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 the Kami solved a major long term problem plaguing the town. One of Lèhê-dêtîkè Dêtîkè's local festivals commemorates this miracle.
