Points of Interest

Lêlë-ênê Dêtîkè is remarkably well-fortified for a site of its size and role. Tall, stout walls, strong points inside the community, concentric defenses, a strategic terrain location, or a large body of standing troops might be present. Some threat is thought to exist that makes maintaining this fortification worthwhile, though it may come at a dear cost to the locals. The community’s suzerain may be uncomfortable with these defenses, as they could just as easily be used to defy the ruler.

Lêlë-ênê Dêtîkè makes use of canals for some of its streets. Locals often fish in the canals.

History

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century the Kami solved a major long term problem plaguing the town. One of Lêlë-ênê Dêtîkè's local festivals commemorates this miracle.
