	'''Description of Home World:''' Ghinnori was a moonless world, its surface comprised of one large landmass with a small sea at the northern pole. The climate varied greatly. The north was temperate, the central regions contained broad swaths of forest, and the southern quarter was too cold for most life. Since wood was so plentiful, most Ylian structures were made from it, from houses to walls to fences. Daily loads came from bustling logging towns in the central regions to fill the need. The Ylians' greatest crop was grisil, a pale green grain whose kernels were used for bread and whose stalks were used for vessels of all kinds. The northern regions contained plentiful game darting about the hills and shrub lands. A myriad of small streams in the north and central regions provided fish. Fruits and vegetables were grown in small quantities as a treat for the middle and upper classes, since they were seen as taking field space away from the all-important grisil.~~<br>~~
	'''Social structure and organization:''' No notable differences from the one in Yliakum, see above.~~<br>~~		'''Description of Home World:''' Ghinnori was a moonless world, its surface comprised of one large landmass with a small sea at the northern pole.

	'''Reason for Leaving Home World:''' When the Ylians still lived in Ghinnori, their main spiritual guide was the Desert Prophecy, a text of prophecy written on the stone by the Gods themselves. It was present in an holy part of the planet, a large desert dedicated to the gods. Only pilgrimages were admitted in the desert and none could establish a home there. The desert was very special in its own way because you could find many unique rocks, writings and remains left by the gods. It was in constant evolution, and at every big event in the Ylian society, people ~~went~~ to see if the gods ~~had~~ left a message for them. Around 270 AY The Desert Prophecy, in constant evolution, started to speak about the near future and the hardships that the Ylians would endure in Ghinnori, and the Abundant Realm that would be revealed to them after their trials. Sadly for the Ylians, all of the hardships did indeed come to pass. They started to understand the gods had chosen them for some higher role in the history of their world, and so they took the challenge with the right spirit.<br>

			'''Reason for Leaving Home World:''' When the Ylians still lived in Ghinnori, their main spiritual guide was the Desert Prophecy, a text of prophecy written on the stone by the Gods themselves. It was present in an holy part of the planet, a large desert dedicated to the gods. Only pilgrimages were admitted in the desert and none could establish a home there. The desert was very special in its own way because you could find many unique rocks, writings and remains left by the gods. It was in constant evolution, and at every big event in the Ylian society, people were going to see if the gods left a message for them. Around 270 AY The Desert Prophecy, in constant evolution started to speak about the near future and the hardships that the Ylians would endure in Ghinnori, and the Abundant Realm that would be revealed to them after their trials.

			Three tests were layed out by the gods on the Ylians:

	* 298 AY - The First Test: the search for an unknown relic in the bowels of the earth, which ended with the finding of the Great Turquoise of Ghinorri, a magical stone with divination powers.		* 298 AY - The First Test: the search for an unknown relic in the bowels of the earth, which ended with the finding of the Great Turquoise of Ghinorri, a magical stone with divination powers.

	* 305 AY - The Third Test: the grisil that grew had a toxin carried by a fungus, which claimed many victims. They had to study hard for months for a possible cure, and many became wondrous healers.~~<br>~~		*305 AY - The Third Test: the grisil that grew had a toxin carried by a fungus, which claimed many victims.

	After these tests they visited the holy desert ~~again~~ and a glowing portal was standing there. ~~They understood~~ the time ~~was~~ come, and decided to pass through ~~it.<br><br>~~
			After these tests they visited the holy desert, where the Ylians sought messages from their gods. The oases that the seekers depended upon for survival were changed. Hot winds wandered the desert, bringing in black ashes that covered the rocks upon which the prophecies were written, scouring away the messages underneath. The waters of the oases grew ever darker and more viscous, their surfaces covered with the black ash. Sour gasses bubbled up from below, and those foolish enough to drink of the water claimed it was no longer water at all. But a glowing magical portal was standing there. This was the final sign that convinced the Ylians that the time had come for them to leave. They started to understand the gods have chosen them for some higher role in the history of their world and decided to to pass through the portal

	The Ylians moved here in response to a calamity in their old homeland. During the long time spent in the Stone Labyrinths many people died from the pure danger of the place. The survivors had many different skills. Many people were needed in vital trades and crafts. In order to survive, many people adapted to learn other necessary trades. Since then Ylians have embraced adaptation and compromise, therefore they are very versatile.~~<br>~~
	Even today, Ylians might change professions two or three times during their lifetimes to adapt to the changing needs of their society.~~<br>~~		The Ylians moved here in response to a calamity in their old homeland.

	No man or woman is considered an adult until they wed another. This usually happens in their late teens. The new couple will move out of their family's homes and start a new family. Marriages are lifelong and divorce is heavily frowned upon.~~<br><br>~~

	The Ylian's natural friendliness was at first subverted thanks to the manner of their arrival and its similarity to passages in their religious text, The Tome of Woes and Joy. In the prophecy described in the book, Yliakum was by rights theirs, bestowed by the gods and to be shared with others only as they saw fit. This caused friction between Ylians and the other races, most notably the [[Enkidukai]]. After the fall of Ylon Dynari, [[Talad]]'s intervention in the Enkidukai/Ylian War, and their move to Hydlaa, the Ylians turned towards Talad. The Tome was largely abandoned, and with it a major portion of the Ylians sense of ownership of Yliakum. For the most part, the Ylians gradually abandoned the Tome of Woes and Joy, since no written copies survived the journey from Ghinnori and its prophecies ended with the discovery of [[Yliakum]]. The Ylians naturally turned to worshiping Talad, the first god they met after exiting the portal, but given their eclectic nature, they developed affinities towards all other gods.<br><br>		The Ylian's natural friendliness was at first subverted thanks to the manner of their arrival and its similarity to passages in their religious text, The Tome of Woes and Joy.
