Yenrai is a town of deep-rooted tradition and resilient spirit, nestled along the Jade Coast within the Nagan Empire. Its cobbled streets and towering cherry blossoms whisper tales of survival and unity. Yenrai is most famously known as the first town to face the wrath of the Kalamar warlords during their brutal invasion in the First Age. The attack was swift and merciless, leaving Yenrai in ashes and its people scattered. Yet, from those ashes, Yenrai was rebuilt—stronger, prouder, and with a fierce determination to never forget.
The Rebirth and Days of Remembrance
In the wake of its destruction, Yenrai's survivors dedicated themselves to the town’s rebirth. Its reconstruction was marked by towering walls, fortified gates, and stone watchtowers that now cast long shadows over its bustling markets. To honor those who fell during the invasion, Yenrai holds Days of Remembrance, a week-long series of festivals and rituals where the town is adorned in blood orange banners, symbolizing both the blood spilled and the strength reclaimed.
Lanterns are lit and floated down the river that runs through the heart of the town, carrying prayers and memories of those lost. Performers reenact the defense of Yenrai, while the elders tell tales of bravery and sacrifice. It is said that during these days, the spirits of the fallen watch over Yenrai, their presence felt in the whisper of the wind and the flicker of candlelight.
Clan Yaggard — Protectors of Yenrai
A remarkable twist of fate entwines Yenrai with Clan Yaggard, the very descendants of the Kalamar warlords who first razed the town. Forged in a pact of redemption and honor, the warlord's lineage swore an oath to protect Yenrai for as long as their bloodline endures. Thus, Clan Yaggard was born—a clan of samurai who are both guardians and symbols of atonement. Their blood orange armor and iron discipline are now a familiar sight along the ramparts of Yenrai, serving as both protector and reminder of what was lost—and what was reclaimed.
