Points of Interest

Mêthê-fêfe Fêqê's roads were poorly made when first laid.

The locals often repair the road by putting down wooden decking.

History

A vast influx of newcomers over the last (6896 % 6)+1 years has greatly spiked Mêthê-fêfe Fêqê'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 blessed the town with wealth for a year and a day. One of Mêthê-fêfe Fêqê's local festivals commemorates this miracle.
