History
Geography
The city is sprawled across the delta of the Yahara River, extending over four major islands and inland. The city proper is situated halfway up the delta along the deepest (and only navigable) channel on the north side of the river, with its historic downtown facing southeast, and its modern heart facing directly south. The islands of the city can only be accessed by ferry or by Highways 1 and 6, which run through the west and north sides of the city respectively. Notably, the city was built between the cover of a set of hills and the river, upon two of which sit the Grand Temple of Yítsmä along with the Yaxarhayutian Legislature and the King Dänÿl III Palace, which is the largest surviving palace in Yaxarhayut. It is believed that on the hill directly adjacent and to the northwest of the King Dänÿl III Palace once held the Stënër Castle, which was famous for its red brick construction and supposed impenetrability. However, the castle was destroyed in the Välyäväřg Fire, and the hill upon which it stood is now covered by the Duchess Heonat Boulevard as well as a great deal of development, leading to significant difficulties in excavating to uncover evidence of the Stënër Castle's location.
