YASHAIN 1

Yashain
Yàsháin the world of the dead has always been a little hard for me to imagine on a world scale,
so I scaled down to the island of Harn area only.
I hope this helps other people to visualize a workable Yàsháin also.

Canon description of Yashain

From Kethira pg 49
Yashain
Yàsháin, is a world that runs on arcane power. Yasháinian kingdoms have gods and goddesses for monarchs; demons,
demigods and dead heroes for barons. The personalities of rulers are not only stamped on the political and social struc-
tures, but also on the geography, ecology, geology and climate. When one crosses from one kingdom to another, one may
also be crossing from lush forest to stark desert. The kingdoms of Yàsháin seem to always be at war: good against evil,
chaos against order.

Kethira and Yashain

Kèthîra and Yàsháin have a unique relationship; there are numerous, constant, point-to-point correspondences. The
realm(s) of the elves, Évaèl and Fáya, are one example. Earthmaster sites on Hârn and some of those on Lýthia also exist
(in some form) on Yàsháin, as does Aráka-Kalái. Such places seem to exist simultaneously on both worlds.
Yàsháin is Kèthîra’s afterworld, the realm of the dead. Many theologians and laypeople believe that when they die they
are reborn in Yàsháin, where everyone is immortal and from where, if they are lucky, they can find their way back.

From Gods of Harn #5003, Religion pg 1

Kethira and Yashain: A Special Relationship
“The links with other worlds are generally shifting and vague, but between these two there are a large number of constant,
point to point, even region to region, correspondences, Various sites exist (in some form) on both worlds at the same time.
Most of the gods of Harn (with the notable exception of Siem) are believed to reside on Yashain, which is Kethira’s “half-
world”. Most Kethirans spend their after lives on Yashain in the service of their chosen deities. Yashain is divided into
kingdoms governed by the gods. Earldoms and baronies are ruled by demons and demigods. There is a constant state of
war, good against evil, and order against chaos.”

 YASHAIN 3
My p-Yashain (House rules, feel free to change the rules)

Because Kèthîra and Yàsháin have a unique relationship; and there are numerous, constant, point-to-point correspondences,
I use the map of Hran for the map of Yàsháin.

Gods Location on Harn map Capital City / Location on Harn map

Agrik In and around the Rayesha MTN ranges Balgashang 5F
Halea With Larani and Peoni areas Corsilea 10 M
Ilvir Same location as on Harn Araka-Kalai 5H
Larani Surrounding the southern borders of Agrik, Morgath, & Naveh Dolithor 7H
Morgath In and around the Felsha MTN ranges Durakhar 4I
Naveh In and around the Sorkin MTN ranges Kamil 4K
Peoni South of Larani territory Meadows of Valon 7E
Sarajin North of Agrik, Morgath, & Naveh Talagaad 2H
Save-K’nor With Larani and Peoni areas Inor Teth 5J

Creating a map of Yàsháin

1. Photocopy the Harn map
2. Using marking pens outline the hexs around the three mountain ranges
3. Outline the boundary of the capital city (1 hexs surrounded by 2 circles of hexs)
4. Start creating the boundary of smaller provinces (7 to 9 hex around the capital’s boundary)
5. Numbers the provinces and assign the demigod/demon rulers, if you wish.

Death and Dying

When a human dies on Kèthîra there spirit travels to Yàsháin and appears at the capital city of their deity.
If they have no deity then they will be judged and assigned a deity.
When they arrive they will be fully formed adult (early twenties) with full memories of one's past life.
When anyone dies on Yàsháin they reappears at the capital city of their deity after a time delay of (2d20) months with the same memories he had the first time he died and
arrived on Yàsháin.
The exception is an area controlled by Sarajin were the dead come back to life every evening with full memories..
Upon arriving they will be indoctrinated into their new life. They are immortal, they can live, love, and have sex but they can not reproduce and have children, except with a
god.
If the dead somehow return to Kèthîra they will become mortal again but without their memories of their time on Yàsháin.

Gods Followers
Agrik = A warrior’s life (Evil Warriors)
Halea = Will live in harmony with non-chaos and evil
Ilvir = Brooder in the Blasted Plains (Followers)
Larani = Guardians of the weak (Noble Knights,Warriors, or Heroes)
Morgath = A warrior’s life (Chaos or Evil Warriors)
Naveh = A warrior’s life (Assassins, Thiefs, or Torturer)
Peoni = Will live as peasant farmers
Sarajin = A warrior’s life (An Honorable Warrior)
Save-K’nor = Will live in harmony with non-chaos and evil

Guilded and unguided good dead people support the Larain cause, while evil or corrupt support the evil gods.

 YASHAIN 4
Larani followers have a line of Watchtowers and Castles surrounding the southern borders of Agrik, Morgath, & Naveh.
The Watchtowers are arranged one each hex and one row back the Castle are arranged one every other hex
The Watchtowers are man by 50 footmen and 2 squadron of knights (26), while the Castles are man by 100 footmen and 6 squadron of knights (78).
The castles are attached to small cities for guildsmen.
When the watchtower spots the enemy they light a signal fire and add chemicals producing colored smoke to indicate how many enemies are approaching.

Spells and Psionics

Spells and Psionics work better on the magic strong Yashain.
Adjust Mastery Level (ML) by averaging it with 120.
Example: If ML on Kethira is 40 the ML on Yashain would be 80.

Godstone
Due to the arcane environment of Yàsháin the earthmasters did not stay long.
Only one Godstone is found at the location that correspondence with Cherafir.

Terrain
Same as Harns except for territories controlled by evil gods. Those territories are desert, semidesert, and savanna.
Territories controlled by Sarajin is like the far north (the tundra)
