Yekai

The Yekai are humans who hail from the Yekai Dominion, which is believed to be the oldest kingdom of Man still standing. Yekai traces its roots to the earliest days of Bodhaan, and there is evidence to suggest that ancient Yekai not only fought the Alemar on several occasions, but often times won these engagements. The Yekai are the only humans to have a natural affinity towards magic, and the deserts from which they hail have crafted them into a strong, sturdy people. The strength of the Yekai armies comes from their dangerous mix of potent cavalry, supported by battlemages, with a core of decent infantry forces. All of these elements support their devastating Urdani warriors. The Urdani are men whose very souls have been pulled from their bodies and entrapped into elegant and heavy suits of armor. They now serve as willing warriors for the Yekai, and the strength of one of these Urdani warriors are said to outmatch that of one hundred men.   See Urdani for the Urdani features.

Naming Conventions

  Yekai names usually come in two parts, separated by a apostrophe ('). The first part of their name is a family derived name. The second part is a personal name that they have given themselves. Sometimes, a Yekai will have a third name. This name is either the name that their parents referred to them as a child, or a name given to them by a special person in their lives. The Urdani follow these same conventions, however it is typically rare to see an Urdani with three names, as it is known that Urdani have an extremely difficult time maintaining or creating new emotional connections after their soul transfer.
