Introduction
The Domain of Yairan, also known as the Last Bastion of Yairan, is said to be the remnant of the once boundless physical realm governed by the primordial spirit of earth Yairan. Now confined entirely within the Citadel Mountains, it is the final fragment of the original land that once extended endlessly across existence.
History
According to mythic accounts, the world of Yairan was the first domain, composed entirely of the physical realm. When the other primordial elements emerged, their arrival began to erode this eternal land. The process accelerated with the rise of the Ascendant Spirit of Time, Kyros, whose influence introduced decay and change.
The resulting conflict, known as the Great Erosion War, marked the struggle between Yairan and the encroaching forces of the new elements. To defend the physical realm, Yairan created the Yairanians, beings said to embody his enduring essence. Despite their efforts, the war ended in retreat, and both Yairan and the Yairanians withdrew within the Citadel Mountain Range.
It is said that Yairan then shaped the Citadel Mountains into nearly impassable barriers, concealing his final refuge. Legends claim that the Yairanians remain within these circular mountain massifs, preserving the last essence of their creator.
Geography
The internal geography of the Domain of Yairan remains unknown. Scholars and explorers speculate that it consists of vast, featureless plains of solid earth, untouched by erosion, wind, or rain. The terrain is believed to be entirely stable and unchanging.
