About
Yheathiel is an immense province that borders the Rift and the great Landwall that keeps the creatures relatively contained within it. A grim province, it is known for marauding Rift monsters and as such its people are hardy and strong.

Due to its proximity to the rivers, Yheathiel is primarily farmland, supplying almost all the food to the Riftguard who make it their capitol. The mighty fortress Nydeic stands at the north of the province, a rocky beacon where the Riftguard deploys most of its forces.

In addition, the city of Darobeth lies within Yheathiel, known as the Weapons Capitol of Dagaria. Because of the ever-present threat of the Rift, Darobeth imports metal and crystal from all over the empire and uses them to craft new and innovative weaponry to staunch the flow of Rift creatures into the Empire. Established not long after the meteor fell and created the Rift, everything about Darobeth is designed with defense in mind. The city sits on a rocky plateau where much of the stone has been carved out from under it to supply building material for the city, making it nigh unassailable, and a combination of two walls and creative use of buildings to create a defensive maze have maintained Darobeth against enemies from both within the Rift and without.
