Fires of Yhila

""

The City of Marble
Yhila was known as the biggest and richest city from all lands. It was known by many as "The City of Marble", for its fame and riches were greater than of any other's.

King Corax I
Legends say that the very first of King Corax's bloodline was born here. When the Knight Herald Corax I was crowned as King of Kalathad, Yhila bathed in fame and everybody from across the lands was coming here to visit the King, until King Corax I built the City of Argent upon the Lake of Creation, naming Argent as the First City of the Lands by royal decree, in 43 PDW.

People from Yhila
The inhabitants from Yhila were proud and rich people from all around Kalathad that came here to live a life of debauchery. They came here to drown themselves in fame and fortune.

During the reign of King Corax II, between 71 PDW - 110 PDW, people from Yhila started worshipping multiple Gods, among which were Akepha, Cramus and Satuur.

The Fires of Yhila
As years passed, people of Yhila adopted wicked traditions, such as using slave children for their own wicked desires and pleasures in the name of Satuur, turning Yhila soon in a city full of brothels in which the most influent people could pay for services of children. The priests themselves fell to the carnal sin of pleasing themselves with children. This marked the beginning of their doom, for the end was coming.

Some of the Gods were undisturbed by this. Some were said to abandon the people of Yhila and forsake them, but Akepha brought doom and vengeance upon them for the defilement of her shrines and followers.

At first their gold turned into wax, causing the people of Yhila to wage civil wars between them for food and water. Then came diseases, for food and water ran out quickly, and the clerics and healers were killed during the civilian battles. Then their death came as a curse from the goddess Akepha: they were cursed to burn forevermore, their souls never find rest and always feel the agonizing fires of vengeance, and their City of Marble turned charred, for the flames of the accursed city never quenched.

It is said that, even from far away, the flames of the accursed Yhila can be still seen lighting up the horizon during the night.
