Points of Interest

While private tutelage of worthy apprentices can be had even in most remote villages, Lèh-êhi Dêtîkè is home to a proper school dedicated to teaching magic. Such schools are usually small, with no more than a few dozen pupils, most of whom will fail for lack of talent or discipline. The instructors are rarely first-rate, usually serving only for the pay and status, but sometimes a genius sorcerer will find a reason to observe likely apprentices here. Given the unfortunate accident potential of the school, it’s probably isolated or well-fortified.

Lèh-êhi Dêtîkè is known for its well built pedestrian paths, which include foot bridges to cross the main street at several high-traffic areas.
