Cultural Notes

Vêvêfî-iê Fêqê is led by one or more incompetents. While they must have been very good at something to have acquired the position, they are fundamentally incapable of leading. Uncontrolled passions or lusts, commitment to a hopelessly impractical ideal, pigheaded obstinacy in the face of failure, a total lack of charisma or interpersonal skills, or profound laziness might all unfit them for their post.

Vêvêfî-iê Fêqê's chapel was built using a different architectural style from the rest of the town. The style used embraces individualism and experimentation. It emerged as a movement against traditional, classical styles and sought to make buildings dynamic and fun while breaking the rules. The style incorporated elements of previous architectural styles in exaggerated and whimsical ways. Traditional, conservative leanings were void in this era, with most scholars of architecture agreeing it was a time of “anything goes.”.

In Vêvêfî-iê Fêqê sometimes, near one of the seasonal solstices, the sun appears to split into three and it rains from a clear sky for several hours.

The Slithering Pit near Vêvêfî-iê Fêqê are known to be a mutant strain of the creature.

Vêvêfî-iê Fêqê's citizens partake in a curious ritual relating to their local kami. It takes place in spring and involves consuming a local narcotic to channel Transmutation energies of tier 1 via throat chanting.
