Ya'as

Ya'as
Ya'as, or more commonly called "The State of Ya'as", is the Western-most city and the city with the greatest size in all of Asuthil. Unlike their undeclared rivals, Hellis, they continually produce guardians to protect the town. It is said their leader is a goddess among men, as she is yet to age or change appearance since she first founded the state. Namely the "Valkyrie", she settled down on the West Coast with her four sisters to construct a bastion to host a last stand against the long forgotten clan, Southern Mist. Holding the fort with never seen before prowess and strength, the sisters managed to protect the bastion with only one casualty. The eldest sister, Maria, was impaled by an enemy spear, similar to the Roman "Pilum". She was buried under the shadow of the bastion, the sisters parting ways. The Valkyrie stayed at The Bastion, making it her home, until a wandering soul helped her build a home away from the bastion. After a few years they started a family, and their children moved on to build their own houses. More visitors from the outside arrived, and the town began to thrive.

After a few dozen years, The Valkyrie remains unscathed and unchanged, her partner deceased. She is seen every now and then at gatherings for guardians, or standing at The Bastion, staring out at the sea. The town itself is heavily fortified with pearly white walls made from a nearby jackpot of marble, with mixed in substances to increase the strength of said walls. After another few years, rumours of Apathisissius spread west, the residents of Ya'as becoming skeptical. The guardians of the town have become forced to make modifications to the defenses, leading to the invention of the first Bariska, amongst many other unique weapons and vehicles for land and sea combat.
