Exag

Exag, also known as the Pearl of Yattenheid, is a semi-autonomous city in the nation of Perrenland. It is the capital city of the Canton of Yattenhied. The city has a population of around 8500.

Exag was settled Oeridian refugees who had crossed the Yatil Mountains, as part of the Great Migration. It was here that the Oeridians established their oldest city in the entire Flanaess, Exag, meaning "Refuge" in Old Oeridian.

This once majestic city previously ruled the western Quaglands for the Great Kingdom of Aerdi. At its peak (101- 130 CY) Exag had 17,000 residents. Since then, Exag has been attacked and raided a number of times, and the walls repaired and rebuilt each time they were breached. The architecture of Exag is very ancient in design, with domes and white washed walls. Because the current population of Exag is half that of the city at its peak, many of the buildings within the walls are deserted, and entire suburbs lie in ruins.

Exag is still a major trading settlement. Quag Road starts here all the way to Schwartzenbruin.

Exag is located on a plateau backing onto the first slopes of the Yatils.The proximity of the Mounds of Dawn is a constant threat to the city and the city has been cut off by wandering monsters in the past. The inhabitants are well used to this situation occurring from time to time.

Clan Môrgenrood are mostly descendents of the Oerdian settlers who built Exag after ousting the Vuurzwald clan from the location.
