The largest, most ancient, and most terrible city in all of Yoon-Suin. The city of the slug-men, which they rule as a Brahmin caste of aristocrats, merchant families, and scholars – the only ones who may bring goods to the city, the only ones whose lives are protected by law, the only ones who may own land.

As their home, it reflects their needs and desires: their love of knowledge, their refined intelligence, and their cold and self-regarding arrogance.

A seething mass of humanity and crab-men exists below then – to live, to breed, but above all to serve the rulers of the city. For them, life is cheap, short, intense, and, depending on one’s definition of the word, interesting.

Beyond the Yellow City to the South is the Gulf of Morays: a widening expanse of blue, dotted by the Topaz Isles. Beyond it is the open sea and the reef homes of the squidmen. Beyond them is the mighty ocean and the great kraken gods who roam it.
