Yaif's capital is built into the slopes of an extinct volcano, its buildings carved from the same dark stone that surrounds it. The architecture is ancient—some structures predate recorded history—and the streets follow paths worn by thousands of years of feet.
Population: ~40,000
El Djele is a city of temples, shrines, and sacred sites. More priests per capita than any other city in Tarkhon. The spiritual heart of Neferati culture.
The city is quieter than outsiders expect. Where other Neferati kingdoms burn bright with passion and innovation, Yaif burns steady with tradition and memory. The fire here is ancient, patient, eternal.
