Points of Interest

Kizî Hâbâ Kâchyâ has been cursed with some blight that makes life difficult, albeit not impossible. An offended sorcerer's vengeful Working, an outraged god's wrath, a local distortion of the Legacy, or a simple history of bad feng shui in the area may have brought the curse about. I(devise not only the curse, but the reason why the locals haven't left for better lands).

The center of Kizî Hâbâ Kâchyâ's town square was built around an ancient standing stone.
