| − | '''Yezier''' |
+ | '''Yezier''' was a kingdom in southwestern [[Roshar]] during the [[Era of Solitude]].{{map ref|Roshar}} It bordered [[Alm]], [[Desh]], [[Azir]], [[Tashikk]], and [[Liafor]]. |
| + | During the [[Silver Kingdoms]] era, it was part of [[Makabakam]].{{map ref|Silver Kingdoms}} |
||
| − | == Geography == |
||
| − | Yezier lays in the western part of the geographical region known as [[Makabak]], in the south-west of [[Roshar]]. It's bordered by [[Desh]] to the North, [[Azir]] to the East, and [[Tashikk]] and [[Liafor]] to the South. Its western border sits on an unnamed river, which it shares with [[Alm]], while in north-east, it reaches the [[Misted Mountains]] separating it from [[Shinovar]].{{map ref|Roshar}} It claims about 396 thousand square kilometers of land, making it the fifth largest state in the Azish Empire, and the seventeenth largest country on Roshar as a whole.{{url ref|url=https://www.17thshard.com/forum/blogs/entry/634-roshar-physical-characteristics-and-areas/|text=Roshar Physical Characteristics And Areas|site=17th Shard}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | Like most Makabaki states, Yezier appears to be rather dry and sparsely-populated. Other than its border with Alm, there are no major rivers there, and no settlements worth noting.{{map ref|Roshar}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | == History == |
||
| − | During the [[Silver Kingdoms]] era, Yezier was part of [[Makabakam]].{{map ref|Silver Kingdoms}} It's unknown when they split off. Eventually, they joined a Makabaki coalition under the leadership of the [[Prime Aqasix]], becoming a client state to the [[Azir|Azish Empire]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Following the [[Everstorm]], [[Dalinar Kholin]] sought to persuade them to join his coalition, hoping that they would help convince other states in the region.{{book ref|sa3|9}} While he managed to speak with their princess, she demured, awaiting the decision of the Prime Aqasix.{{book ref|sa3|12}} After the Azish agreed to join, Yezier followed suit, with the princess herself coming to [[Urithiru]].{{book ref|sa3|96}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | Shortly before the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], the Azish withdrew from the coalition; however, Yezier remained, and the princess sought to tie herself and her country closer to [[Alethkar]].{{book ref|sa3|122}} This might've been partially motivated by [[Iri]] defecting to Odium, as Yezier was worried about being invaded by them.{{book ref|sa3|96}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Politics and Culture == |
||
| − | Yezier is a member of the [[Azir|Azish Empire]], and as such subject to the rule of the [[Prime Aqasix]]. However, the country has rulers of its own - currently, an unnamed princess.{{book ref|sa3|12}} Recently, she began courting [[Halam Khal]], one of [[House Kholin]] highlords, although she cannot marry him without the Prime's permission.{{book ref|sa3|111}}{{book ref|sa3|122}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | Yezier is traditionally very close to Azish throne, and the princess is noted to live in [[Azimir]] for half of every year.{{book ref|sa3|65}}{{book ref|sa3|122}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | The country has no [[Oathgate]]s.{{book ref|sa3|12}} It's unknown whether they possess any [[Shardwielding|Shards]], though ordinarily they, like any other member state, can borrow the Imperial [[Shardblade]]s of Azir.{{book ref|sa2.5|2}} Whether that still holds true during the [[True Desolation]] is unknown. |
||
| − | |||
| − | They are known for their [[stormwarden]]s and timekeepers.{{book ref|sa3|96}} Along with the neighboring country of [[Liafor]], they are one of the centres of fashion on Roshar, and have been for decades.{{book ref|sa3|49}} Their likely speak one or more of the Makabaki languages.{{wob ref|3977}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | Their name might be derived from Yaezir, the name used for [[Jezrien]] across [[Makabak]]. |
||

| − | == Notable citizens == |
||
| − | * The princess - the ruler of Yezier. Comes to [[Urithiru]] personally to plead for help against a possible [[Iri]] invasion.{{book ref|sa3|95}} |
