Occasionally, for very important buildings, an array of sculptures or one colossal sculpture might replace the entirety of the entrance to said building.

Points of Interest

While private tutelage of worthy apprentices can be had even in most remote villages, Pííî-lèthètê Bî 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.

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 Pííî-lèthètê Bî's local festivals commemorates this miracle.
