The village is protected by a well-crafted cobblestone fence tall enough to provide adiquite cover for defenders to fire from, but no more than that.

History

Rèvè-co Liyo Bî's residents established a new industry (27627 % 6)+1 years ago, and it’s making them a great deal of profit. Old patterns of authority and wealth are being disrupted, and the old gentry are unlikely to be pleased about it. They may be trying to take over the industry, or they may have been the ones to enable it in the first place and are using it to crush the life out of any rival power bases. Outsiders might be playing a major role as well, and it could be they plot to siphon off the profits.

The war is remembered in legend by Rèvè-co Liyo Bî's bards, historians, and legend keepers.
