Much as the first level of [[Yliakum]] is known as The [[Dome]], the second level is as [[The Barn]], the third level as [[Far Ground]], the fourth level as [[Stronghold]], the fifth level is known as [[Lands End]], the sixth as [[Lakeshore]], the seventh as the [[Lower Field]] and the eighth and final level known as the '''Deep'''. No one has travelled to the crushing depths at the bottom of the lake. Creatures have been known to rise from the dark waters to attack boats and swimmers.

Much as the first level of [[Yliakum]] is known as The [[Dome]], the second level is as [[The Barn]], the third level as [[Far Ground]], the fourth level as [[Stronghold]], the fifth level is known as [[Lands End]], the sixth as [[Lakeshore]] and the seventh as the '''Lower Field'''. Seaweed cultivation is the most common aspect of this partially underwater level. The constant rising and falling of the lake floods the Lower Field on a regular basis. During periodic times of low water levels, the revealed land is covered in rich, silty bogs that form the base of many underwater crops when the water rises again. Most Nolthrir make their home on this level.

Much as the first level of [[Yliakum]] is known as The [[Dome]], the second level is known as [[The Barn]], the third level is known as [[Far Ground]], and the fourth level is known as '''Stronghold''' or the Forge. Below it lies the [[Lands End]] on the fifth level. This is where most of the heavy industry is. Keeping the upper levels free of smog is important, so most of the industry is located by the wall making use of huge natural vents; all smoke is funneled into them. All large scale forging is done here, such as parts for the bronze doors, sewers, and winches.

Zalya: /* Geography */

Much as the first level of [[Yliakum]] is known as The [[Dome]], the second level is known as '''The Barn''', presumably because it is one of the two main levels that support serious agricultural development and provide food for the other levels. Below it lies [[Far Ground]], the third level.

==Geography==
There is still enough light to grow good crops on this level. Some beasts are raised here that do not thrive in the hotter [[Dome]]. The mint that creates all money used in [[Yliakum]] is in the Barn.

The Plauge that has swept through the [[Enkidukai]] city of [[Ojavada]] is commonly referred to as 'The Burning'. The deadly plague only affects Enkidukai. Because it's extremely contiguous the Octarchcy quarantined Ojavada. Since the beginning of the plague two of the Dsar's have reopened.

The first Symptoms of the plague start with the matting of the fur. The fur forms thick gross patches before finally falling off, leaving the fur spread thin, and very patchy. The victim then contracts a painful cough. The cough is thought to be the easiest way for the plague to spread. It is advised to stay away from anyone who has gotten this far along in the disease. The last, and worst symptom is a devastating fever that roasts the victim from inside out, thus the name. There is no known cure for the plague, and all victims die true death.

Zalya: /* Sarraghi */

[[Image:Trasoks Shop.jpg|250px|thumb|right|The Dsar of Akkaio]]

Ojaveda (pronounced Oh-Jah-Ved-Ah), is the home city of the [[Enkidukai]] race within [[Yliakum]]. The city is found on the [[first level|Dome]], which is closest to the [[Azure Sun]] and therefore has more light than the other levels. Due to that and to the fertile soil of the first level, Ojaveda is surrounded by farms, and also is the centre of trade. As the Enkidukai have good relation with most other races, especially the [[Hammerwielder]] clan, most quality goods are bought from this city. Ojaveda is split into six [[Dsar]]s, run by the six major packs of the Enkidukai race. Each pack and Dsar is different and specializes in different trades, but all dsars house the basic set of shops and services required to sustain everyday life. Currently, only the dsars [[dsar of Akkaio|Akkaio]] and [[dsar of Kore|Kore]] are open for business. The rest of the city has been shut off for reasons that have not been explained fully: some locals have heard rumours about a quarantine of the other dsars, yet others have heard that the [[Elder Council]] that shut off the city has not held a meeting in a long time.

==The dsars==

===Akkaio===
*''Main Article: [[Dsar of Akkaio]]''

Akkaio is the largest Dsar in Ojaveda and deals in goods from all over Yliakum. It is home to the Akkaio pack and open for business.

===Sarraghi===
To the east of Akkaio is Sarraghi, the central Dsar of Ojaveda. It contains the White Towers and a shrine in honour of [[Talad]]. The Sarraghi Dsar is one of the places most affected by the [[Plague]] in Ojaveda.

===Kore===
*''Main Article: [[Dsar of Kore]]''
The military Dsar. It is home to the Kore pack, and also open to the public.

===Rabani===
Dsar Rabani houses Ojaveda's wealthiest inhabitants, and is also the political centre. It is where Ojaveda's council is held, and the Vigesimi Torkesyn Rabani has his home here.

===Blikau===
The ore from the mines in the surrounding area is delivered to Blikau. It also houses Ojaveda's water supply, and is known to be somewhat lacking in security.

===The Mills===
The food from the farms around Ojaveda is processed in the Mills Dsar. It is also notorious as one of the most dangerous sections of the city.

==Development==
The Dsar of Akkaio in Ojaveda was added as Crystal Blue was released. Other Dsars will be accessible over time.

Zalya:

Much as the first level of [[Yliakum]] is known as The [[Dome]], the second level is as [[The Barn]], the third level as [[Far Ground]], the fourth level as [[Stronghold]], the fifth level is known as '''Land's End'''. The lands end most likely claimed its name because it is literarily where the land ends, or at least where it has ended. The lakes of the lower levels have been recorded to rise all the way up to the sixth level, leaving the fifth at the end of the dry land.

==Geography==
Not much information has been provided about the levels below the dome, but what is known is that only two of the known levels support major plant life. Like the name states, this level is thought to supply [[Yliakum]] with produce.

Yliakum

2010-12-23T00:54:46Z

Zalya: /* Races */

==Geography==

Yliakum is an enormous cave, inside a hollowed out stalactite. At its ceiling, there is a [[Azure Sun|crystal]], which provides it with light. The floor is terraced into eight levels, of which the lowest two are submerged. The highest two levels are above the point where the stalactite connects to the roof of the cave surrounding Yliakum. The topmost level is connected to the [[Stone Labyrinths]], a large network of caves.

The floors of the levels are dotted with many rocks fallen from the ceiling, huge stalagmites, and a few pillars connecting Yliakum's ceiling to the first level's floor. Many streams and rivers start at the wall of the first and second level, running down into the central lake.

===The Levels===

* [[First level]]: “the Dome”
** Contains three major cities, [[Hydlaa]], [[Gugrontid]] and [[Ojaveda]], as well as the [[Bronze Doors]] connecting to the [[Stone Labyrinths]].
* [[Second level]]: “the Barn” or “the Upper Field”
* [[Third level]]: “the Far Ground”
* [[Fourth level]]: “the Forge” or “the Stronghold”
* [[Fifth level]]: “Land’s End”
* [[Sixth level]]: “the Lakeshore” or “the Lagoon”
* [[Seventh level]]: “the Lower Field”
* [[Eighth level]]: “the Deep”

==History==

The history of Yliakum starts in the [[First Epoch]], where it was shaped from a cave containing the Azure Sun to it's present terraced shape, by [[Talad]] and [[Laanx]].

In the [[Second Epoch]], Yliakum was first inhabited by the newly created [[Kran]] and [[Lemur]] races. At the end of the epoch, Laanx left Yliakum, followed by many of the Lemurs.

Most of the other races living in Yliakum arrived in the [[Fourth Epoch]].

==Government==

Yliakum as a whole is ruled by the Circle of the Octarchs. Each [[Octarch]] is responsible for one of the levels.

==Races==

Two races are native to Yliakum. The [[Kran]] created by [[Talad]] and the [[Lemur]] created by [[Laanx]]. Many other races arrived through the Stone Labyrinths, or from magical portals connected to other worlds. These races include the human [[Ylian]] and [[Xacha]], the elven races [[Dermorian]] and [[Nolthrir]], the dwarf clans of [[stonebreaker]] and [[Hammerwielder]] and many others such as [[Diaboli]], [[Enkidukai]], [[Klyros]], and the [[Ynnwn]]'s.

2010-12-23T00:45:18Z

[[Image:Jayose-map.jpg|thumb|300px|A painted map of the first level as found at Jayose's]]
The '''First Level''', more commonly referred to as '''The Dome''', is the topmost plateau in [[Yliakum]].

==Geography==
The Dome is the largest of all levels, and the most brightly lit, since it is the one closest to the [[Azure Sun|Crystal]]. It lies above the point where the stalactite connects to its cave's ceiling, and is connected to the [[Stone Labyrinths]] around it through the [[Bronze Doors]]. Because of this, it is also the only level where mining is allowed. Many rivers flow into the Dome from the labyrinths, these rivers flow through to the lower levels. Being the closest level to the [[Azure Sun|Crystal]], its plant life thrives. The Dome is one of the most populated places in [[Yliakum]], and there for has the largest cities.

==Government==
The [[Octarchs|Octarch]] of the First Level is [[Iragdun Salikarios]], who is aided by twenty [[vigesimi]], among them [[Amidison Stronghand]] in Hydlaa city, Datal Allavium in the [[Winch]] district, Davikel Iramok in Gugrontid and Torkesyn Rabani in Ojaveda.

==History==
Myths that tell of Yliakum's creation tell of Laanx and Talad hollowing out all of Yliakum and moving underground rivers to give there land water, but unknowingly connected the Dome to the [[Stone Labyrinths]]. When the [[Kran]], and [[Lemurs]] where the only races of [[Yliakum]], they settled down into a town which Talad called [[Hydlaa]]. With [[Vodùl]]'s help other races moved the the dome. One of these races, the [[Enkidukai]], established a large city, and they named it [[Ojaveda]]. When [[Laanx]] returned to [[Yliakum]] he assembled a huge metal temple in central [[Hydlaa]]. Talad grew jealous of Laanx and hollowed out a stone temple dedicated to himself. The temple of [[Talad]] grew and prospered into a city dedicated to [[Talad]]'s people, the [[Kran]].

Xiosia

2010-07-10T01:19:30Z

Zalya: /* Worship */

Xiosia is one of [[PlaneShift]]'s Gods. She is sometimes called the Mother Goddess, or Great Mother. The ancient Dermorian pronunciation is (khi-o-see-ah).

The loving and fierce Goddess of Nature, desires peoples to worship, understand and support harmony throughout her realm. This includes studying one's inner nature as well as that of the world of [[Yliakum]] on the whole. She blesses the crops, preserves the flora and fauna, creates fertility and takes it away. She defends the forests and wild places. She creates and maintains the balance of life.

==Appearance==

==History==

==Worship==
Upholding the principles of balance often require open-minded worship as opposed to strict edicts and dogma. Balance itself is not an absolute, but rather an abstract goal such as harmony that is pursued by supporting or opposing forces that are out of alignment. Typical worship services in other religions might be replaced by meditation and introspection, empowering Xiosia's followers to make prudent decisions in pursuit of the Mother Goddess's beliefs. Diaboli of all walks of life appreciate the sensualist approach of faith Xiosia's paths follow. Many Klyros also gravitate toward Xiosia due to her oppression-free worship. People attracted to this faith:

* Farmers and animal handlers
* Herbalists
* [[Brown Way]] mages and introspective people
* Musicians
* Rangers
* Shamans
* Naturalists
* Warriors
