Points of Interest

While private tutelage of worthy apprentices can be had even in most remote villages, Qêmi-îla Píêbo Fêqê 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.

Qêmi-îla Píêbo Fêqê makes use of canals for some of its streets. Locals often fish in the canals.

History

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the early 2nd century the Kái-menk Savannah was struck by a drought when Loch Alden grew too small to continue feeding River Chibougrave, which reduced the available water supply nationwide, but was especially harsh in the area arround Qêmi-îla Píêbo Fêqê. As the neighboring regions had no water so spare, Qêmi-îla Píêbo Fêqê lost 283 people, and 332 livestock in the disaster.. The drought lasted for 2 weeks, which are remembered as the Calamity Thirst.
