In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the early 2nd century after an anomalously snowy winter, runoff from snow-melt caused Tarn Saron to overflow its banks and spill into Backwater White. The resulting flood was isolated to the area around Fitëvî-èse Bî, which was swallowed by the waters for several days. Fitëvî-èse Bî lost 272 people, 203 livestock, and 78 buildings in the disaster. The disaster is remembered as the Calamity Drownings.
