Yatski

Yatski was a village situated south-west of Aceid and just north of the Lake of Amusement along the Millennium Tree Forest; north of the village was a dangerous and narrow cliff path leading to Aceid. It was a major trauben fruit grower and wine producer in Elphegort.

Early History
At some point before the late third century EC, Yatski was founded as an orchid village specializing in growing and harvesting trauben fruit for a variety of products. Loved for its high-quality products including the Yatski Lopera wine, the village's wines were exported internationally to aristocrats across Evillious at high prices, allowing the village to prosper.

Reign of Evil
In EC 499, the chieftain of the village was discovered stealing from the village taxes by his nephew and poisoned him. He then blamed the death on the hated Netsuma girl living in the village, Clarith, forcing the girl and to flee before being arrested by the mobbing villagers. After the events were reported to Earl Felix by the chieftan's son, Ein, he was arrested and removed from the political position.

During the Green Hunting in EC 499, a army unit was deployed to protect Yatski from the invading Lucifenian army and was swiftly overwhelmed and forced to retreat; the female villagers were soon after slaughtered by the soldiers as part of the genocide. The village came out of the Felix family's jurisdiction after the family was deposed from power by Lucifenian army shortly after.

Vineyards
The lands given for growing trauben; members of the village were called to the vineyards and paid to work allotted portions of the fields for a collective effort. As well as trauben, the broad fields grew grains also to be made into wine.

Clarith's Home
A small house where Clarith and her adoptive mother lived during their time in Yatski. Following the death of the Yatski Sorceress and Clarith's flight to Aceid, the building was abandoned; although the furnishings were thrown into disarray during the Green Hunting, it was left intact by the Lucifenian soldiers.

Yatski Hill
A hill just outside of Yatski overlooking the whole village. From the hill, it was possible to see the buildings in Aceid, such as Keel Freesis' mansion before its burning down.

 * Yatski's name is shared with several real world Germanic towns and provinces in Europe; Elphegort is inspired by Germany.
 * The trauben fruit harvested by the town for its jam and wine is the German name for "grapes"; the fruit is likewise consistently portrayed as grapes.

Curiosities
