New Yoake

New Yoake, the dawn and setting sun of Florandia, is a city in the Eastern Drakesland island of the same name. Originally founded on top of Old Yoake, Florandian settlement, it gained independence and became a city state.

After a short vassalisation under the Drakaen Concordat, it became an independent Republic. It joined the League of Vircon until the vassalisation under Skjoldrbrodir.

A new Council declared independence from their overlords, after interference from the VCC. And after a long period of stagnation, Vulcan Alfric was allowed to proclaim himself King of Regnum Yoake.

Some years later, Yoake would be one of the founding members of the Nachtenreich, which would be dissolved and Yoake would be annexed by Valreach.

Description
New Yoake is a frozen city of stone and ice, of towering walls and lowly depths. From the outside it is a place of wonderment and magic where the festives never end. However, hidden beneath the shining streets lie the truths of wicked evils long forgotten.

The city itself is a magical place that is infused with the souls of the dead. These souls are a common power source for the many magical artifacts used throughout the city. Daily household objects like lights and stoves are examples of just how common soul power actually is within the city. The slums are one of the few places where magical artifacts are uncommon and highly sought after.

Districts and Buildings
There are five districts of New Yoake along with an unofficial "under city". Their names are; Royal District, Heart District, Cloud District, White District, and Black District.

Royal Districts
The Heart and Royal Districts are simply stores and government buildings with the only real housing being the castle in the Royal District. Within the Heart District is the beating living Heart of New Yoake, a powerful entity used as a power source for the city. Along with the heart there are many popular stores with unique goods that you can't find elsewhere. The Royal district is home to the Castle and Library. In the library you can find the large collection of books owned by Snickee along with Lady Von's powerful relics. The library is a mystical place home to nature and knowledge and can be quite dangerous. Next the Castle is a patchwork maze of rooms and hallways constructed to confuse enemies who enter. Those who get lost within the winding halls are rumored to vanish and are never seen again.

Housing Districts
The three housing districts are separated by the wealth of the citizens; Cloud is the wealthy class, White is the middle class, and Black is the slums and mines. There is not much known about the Cloud district besides the class of people who live there. The White district is most known for the Sealing Hall, a large party hall constructed to seal of the great evil of the Frostbite. Many of the festivals held in New Yoake are down Lily Lane where the Sealing Hall is located. Lily Lane also leads to The Bridge at the edge of the White district which crosses over the Frostbite into Nidaros. Overall the White District is a lively place of white roofs and lushes plants. The Black District is a dirty slum that everyone avoids. There are not many things in the district as it has no walls and is situated on the frozen river Denial.

Under City
The unofficial "Under City" is home to the underworld of New Yoake. Here you will find drug dens, breweries, and unsavory characters. The "Under City itself is a twisted parody of the city and makes little logical sense. You can walk through doors and find new streets with buildings upside-down. The parks grow plants that sprout already dead, yet, continue to grow. At the center of the "Under City" you will find the Brewery a demonic place where Vampiric rituals are held. This brewery is the location where Vampiric Elixir is brewed and even the conversion ritual is held.

Geography
Situated halfway on Yoake Island, south of The Frostbite, in the Drakesland, the city sits surrounded by a strange aura of permafrost. New Yoake sticks out strangely among its surrounding environment as it shoots high into the sky constantly frozen over. With mountains to its back and ocean to its front it is near impossible to invade. The ground is generally snow and ice with fracture like caves caused by the extreme cold.

Due to its geological location New Yoake is home to many Hot springs and thermal anomalies.

Magical Artifacts & Relics
this is a small catalog of the major artifacts and relics held in New Yoake's possession.

Heart of New Yoake
The was created from the efforts of Lady Snickee and Lady Von. Combining their powers they trapped a wither and enchanted it with their magic. The heart is used as a powerful source of magic that powers the cities many magical items. Some of the important magical items powered by the heart is the Beacon (a device of many enchantments), The Gravitro, which allows the city to be built unnaturally without supports, and the Sealing Hall where the Frostbite evil is held.

Lady Von's 5 Personal Relics
The Witch of The Castle, Lady Von, uses her power to separate souls from living creatures and usually keeps them locked in lanterns. However, when she comes across powerful souls she is able to forge items of great power. The first of the five is Lady Von's Cursed Dirt. Simple in appearance this dirt claims whoever holds it and consumes them and slowly converts them into dirt. The second is Lady Von's No No Space and simply creates a protective force when used. The third is Lady Von's Monstrous Elixir (not much is known about this relic). The Fourth is Lady Von's Cursing Eye. The eye has the power to curse anyone the beholder wishes to curse. unlike the other relics the malice contained within it is incredibly unstable and has the potential to explode. The last and Fifth relic is Lady Von's Cursed Pumpkin. Its just a prank bruh.

Notable Relics
These are relics owned by New Yoake, but not created by the citizens.

The only one to date is the FORTNITE SHIELD POT.

History
The history of New Yoake is a tale of blood and secrets. In the beginning there was the nation of Florandia.

Founding and Early Days
New Yoake was founded by Yaoming Lord OldManPablo at the dawn of the first era of Eldham. The small hamlet was isolated in a frozen bubble. When his first born daughter, Yoaess Lady VonObby, came of age she started a large scale revitalization of the hamlet and created New Yaoke. After the creation of New Yoake there was the formation of The Council of Truth and New Yoake split from Floranida.

Regnum Drakaes Issue
In the coming weeks after the seperation of New Yoake and Florandia, the nation of Regnum Drakaes had a dispute over territorial claims. The dispute ended in New Yoake becoming a Vassal to the Drakaen Concordat. Two years after its formation, the Drakaen Concorday would fall and Yoake would turn into a Republic.

1st Republic of Yoake
As the Republic of New Yoake, the nation would join The League of Vircon, and became collaborating with bordering nations, such as Nidaros, for infrastructure and development. It was during this period when The Bridge over the Frostbite and the seaside Boulevard were built, as well as larger docks. The bay itself, The Frostbite, would be named by both Nidaros and Yoake.

Vampires
Vampires had been in New Yoake since the beginning. However, it was during the republic that they truly made themselves known to the world. With their distain of the sun the vampire Lady Von banished the sun from existence. During the 7 days without sun, Vampire Hunters, sun worshippers, and farmers tried their hardest to attack the vampires in the "Storming of The Castle". They had found all of the vampires except for Lady Von who escaped into the night.

Jarldom in Skjoldrbrodir
Eventually, right at the peak of Vircon, Lady Von declared a public auction of sorts to sell New Yoake. This led to most of the upper class and government abandoning the nation. Seeing the opportunity, and even if neighbouring states offered themselves to be overlords, New Yoake was purchased by Skjoldrbrodir and became a Jarldom with Soul Leyla-Earcala, daughter of Lady Von as its Jarl.

2nd Republic
Yoake gained its independence from Skjoldrbrodir after a diplomatic incident with the Valrean-Catanian Commonwealth.

Regnum Yoake
From the year to, Yoake would be organised as a Kingdom, Regnum Yoake. This one would be formed by the Aulian royal House and soon would turn into the Canalopin Royal House.

Its origins are traced to the request from Vulcan Alfric, member of the Council of Truth, to its fellow members Fides Soul and Janus Lathien. These last members, uninterested in politics, would abdicate and allow Alfric to become King of Yoake. As monarch, he would adopt ROT as official religion and would name House Yoaken, nobility of the Kingdom.

Member of the Nachtenreich
Regnum Yoake would be a founding member of the Nachtenreich, formed in 188 TE. New Yoake kept being the most populated city of the Realm during the entire history of the Nachtenreich, being a beacon in culture and magic for the other Kingdoms of the Night's Realm.

During this period, right before the formation of the Nachtenreich, Delta Aulian-Drake had been resurrected by King Alfric. Delta would become an influential and mysterious character in Yoake. She became Imperina of the Realm after the previous Imperina, Kurai of house Al-Asidalah.

The Nachtenreich would be forcefully dissolved, with the treaty of Varasopolis, in 203 TE. Even the efforts of Imperina Delta to keep Valreach out of the city and making Yoake join Ashai, New Yoake would eventually be transferred to Valrieges.

Valrean Ownership
After the the previous leadership was found missing, New Yoake was given by Caretaker Garrigoyle to Katrina Garvus Moreau. Currently it is under the ownership of Katrina's son, Yorg F. Aulian-Sæncån II. It is currently a low-populated city of Valreach-Simulami.

Religion
There are two main religions of New Yoake, Warped ROT and Helithius ROT. New Yoake allows for the free practice of religion under the Mandate of ROT.

The majority of New Yoake’s magical artifacts are created by the Church of Warped ROT and the use of Soul magic.

Government
During the 1st Republic, New Yoake formed its own seperate government called the Council of Truth and the Royal Family of Respite. Every time Yoake regained its autonomy or independence, a new Council would be formed.

The Council of Truth, traditionally, had three members and held power over all within New Yoake. The Noble Family of New Yoake would hold a more superficial power and are more akin to figure heads.
