Points of Interest
Rîhyi Vedu Gûchya has been cursed with some blight that makes life difficult, albeit not impossible. An offended sorcerer's vengeful Working, an outraged god's wrath, a local distortion of the Legacy, or a simple history of bad feng shui in the area may have brought the curse about. I(devise not only the curse, but the reason why the locals haven't left for better lands).
Rîhyi Vedu Gûchya has a substantial mill pond located a short distance from town.

History
In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century the Shrewsval Steppe was struck by a drought when Mere Dana grew too small to continue feeding Stream Gogus, which reduced the available water supply nationwide, but was especially harsh in the area arround Rîhyi Vedu Gûchya. As the neighboring regions had no water so spare, Rîhyi Vedu Gûchya lost 283 people, and 104 livestock in the disaster.. The drought lasted for 4 weeks, which are remembered as the Calamity Thirst.
