History

Chyameya Dorà Ku̹mâ used to be much richer, but something happened in the last 5 years to crush its source of prosperity. Different factions of the community might be trying to grasp at the remaining dregs of wealth, others might try to restart the failed industry, and some might look for a new livelihood. Any group or entity thought responsible for the collapse is likely to be treated very harshly, and some locals might find profit in shifting the blame to their enemies.

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the early 2nd century the Kami spared the town a natural disaster. One of Chyameya Dorà Ku̹mâ's local festivals commemorates this miracle.
