History

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the early 2nd century, Dêba-jisë Fêqê was attacked by savage harpiess living nearby. The details of the conflict are hazy at best due to many conflicting accounts. What is known is Dêba-jisë Fêqê lost 246 people, 276 livestock, and 65 buildings. The conflict ended after roughly 126, when members of Dêba-jisë Fêqê's militia enacted an operation to deliver supplies to a specific ruin. The operation was complicated by one of the key objectives in the operation requiring sticking to a very strict and short time table. The conflict ended with the defense of the ruin against a siege, which ended in defeat for Dêba-jisë Fêqê's forces. The war is remembered in legend by Dêba-jisë Fêqê's bards, historians, and legend keepers.
