Cultural Notes

A substantial minority of the locals are descended from foreigners alien to their local neighbors. They may have been religious exiles, economic migrants, indigenous locals surrounded by the existing polity, or a foreign settlement conquered within the relatively recent past. The locals may not be enthusiastic about being ruled by others not of their kind, and their neighbors may look askance at the way foreign customs or even laws may be maintained.

Fìkh Ikhkæ Bekyijĭ's mayor's house was built using a different architectural style from the rest of the town. The style used is characterized by their massive, monolithic and 'blocky' appearance with a rigid geometric style. It was best known for its rough, unfinished surfaces, unusual shapes, heavy-looking materials, straight lines, and small windows. Modular elements were often used to form masses representing specific functional zones, grouped into a unified whole.

In Fìkh Ikhkæ Bekyijĭ 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 Shimmerwing Dragonfly near Fìkh Ikhkæ Bekyijĭ are known to be almost tame, such that they can be put to domestic use.

Fìkh Ikhkæ Bekyijĭ's citizens partake in a curious ritual relating to their local kami. It takes place in summer and involves square dance to channel Augury energies of tier 2 via mimery.
