Yotia was the most southern of the coastal kingdoms and the chief military might of eastern Terisiare at the time of the Brothers' War on Dominaria.[1]
History
Yotia suffered the brunt of Fallaji raiding parties even before the outbreak of the war. Yotia was a polytheistic society worshipping many gods, including Bok, Mabok, and Gaea. The Yotians believed that a human soul was too myriad to be judged by a single god, but that instead one had seven souls throughout the course of their life, and each of them was afforded its own judgment by one of the seven brass gods.[2][3] Souls judged poorly would be sent to seven hells. It was a monarchy, whose leader took the title of Warlord (or Warlady). It was the homeland of Tawnos, apprentice to Urza, and Kayla bin-Kroog, daughter of the Warlord and wife of Urza. During Kayla's father's reign, at least two Suwwardi campaigns were launched by Yotia.[4]
After the death of the Warlord at Korlinda, Kayla became the Warlady, and witnessed the sack of Kroog, Yotia's capital, by Mishra's dragon engines. The kingdom's army regrouped in the nearby caravan town of Hench.[2] Yotia would remain under Fallaji occupation for ten years, before being liberated by Argive and Korlis. By this time, Yotia had been scarred almost beyond repair by the Fallaji plundering and Mishra's Scorched Earth policy. The Yotians would continue to fight on Urza's side until the end of the war. After the war, the city of New Yotia rose along the banks of the Mardun, west of Penregon. A busy river port for the region's trappers, miners, and farmers, it carried on the traditions of old Yotia. Most of the refugees of Penregon settled in New Yotia, fleeing the encroaching ice.[5] The kingdom was later absorbed into Argive, and eventually crumbled with the rest of the world.
The Sword Marches were a conquered territory in the west of Yotia. Originally called the Suwwardi Marches by the Fallaji nomads. The Yotian warlord and his forces traveled to Korlinda to meet the Fallaji qadir and his own armies to strike a peace agreement. This failed because both claimed the Sword Marches.
Jorilin, the birthplace of Tawnos, was located on the coast.
Trivia
- Yotia's name comes from the Antiquities card Yotian Soldier. As the card was concepted as a toy soldier, its name is the word "toy" backwards, with "ian" appended to the end.[6]
