Yled (pronounced EH-lehd) is the largest city in the land of Geb and also home to most of its undead armies.

Geography

Yled is located the north-eastern part of the country near the border with the Mana Wastes, and less than 50 miles inland from the Obari Ocean. The city is surrounded by the Bonewall, a curtain wall made entirely of bleached bones, which the local Blood Lord can animate for defense.

Schools of magic

Yled is also home to four notable necromantic colleges, the largest and most well-known being the Mortuarium. Miles below this structure, in a drained aquifer, the necromancers of Geb have bound (or convinced) a trio of nightshades to serve as a permanent well of necromantic energy for the city in a time of war. The most powerful of these is a creature simply known as the Bound One.

The Synostosis Academy, also known as the Arch of Bones, specializes in working with bone and is considered the most practical of Yled's institutions. The Shadow Academy studies planar theory with particular regard for connections to the Boneyard, Netherworld, and Void. The Twilight Castrum is the smallest of the four but continues to produce scholars of necromancy.

These schools also attract arcanists, who travel to Geb to join the ranks of researchers known as the Twilight Sages.
