New Yoake

New Yoake, the dawn and setting sun of Florandia, was 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 known as Yoake or New Yoake.
The city has been the setting of many mystical events such as the rise of the Yoakumaen, a native species of vampiric humanoids, the Banishment of the Sun, the Storming of the Castle or the Darkest Night, at the end of the Kelp Wars. Its magical atmosphere is subject of admiration from people all around Eldham.
==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.
===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.

==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.
==History==
===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 Yoake. After the creation of New Yoake there was the formation of The Council of Truth and New Yoake split from Floranida.
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 Concordat would fall and Yoake would turn into a Republic.
===First Republic===
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.
==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.
