Points of Interest

Ràdû Mâchyu̹ Mudâ's roads were poorly made when first laid. Rather than repairing them correctly, a series of new roads was laid atop the old, leading to the streets of modern Ràdû Mâchyu̹ Mudâ suffering from potholes, cracking, and even sinkholes. The locals often repair the road by putting down wooden decking.

History

Ràdû Mâchyu̹ Mudâ is in secret rebellion against their ostensible liege, having cut deals with his enemies, plotted to betray him for their own gain, or bridled under his tyranny and sought a better lord. The community’s leadership is all in on this plot, and outside viceroys or representatives are being kept carefully ignorant of the reality. The common folk may be oblivious to the truth, though they’ll doubtless have felt the same motivations and promptings that convinced their leaders to turn traitor.

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the early 2nd century the Kami blessed the town with good fortune for a year and a day. One of Ràdû Mâchyu̹ Mudâ's local festivals commemorates this miracle.
