History

A vast influx of newcomers over the last 6 years has greatly spiked Vûhi Hûchyæbæga Gûchya'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 late 2nd century the Kami ended a drought plaguing Vûhi Hûchyæbæga Gûchya. One of Vûhi Hûchyæbæga Gûchya's local festivals commemorates this miracle.
