New Yoake

New Yoake, the dawn and setting sun of Florandia. 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 lies the truths of wicked evils long forgotten. The city itself is a magical place that is infused with the souls of the dead. 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 5 districts of New Yoake along with an unofficial "under city". Their names are; Royal District, Heart District, Cloud District, White District, and Black District.

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.

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.

The unofficial "Under City" is home to the underworld of New Yoake. Here you will find drug dens, breweries, and un savory 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 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.

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

Founding
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 Issue
In the coming weeks after the seperation of New Yoake and Florandia the nation of Regnum Drakaes had a dispute over claims. The dispute ended in New Yoake becoming a Vassal to the Nation of Regnum Drakaes. Several months later after many internal conflicts Drakaes dissolved itself.

Current State
New Yoake is currently its own Entity that tries to stay neutral and separate from the world.

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.
