Lore[]
"The Cathedral, mostly. Though people don't want to admit it. Too proud. Don't want them here, but can't survive if they leave."
- The Wanderer and Tasyana(src)
Knights Penitent garrisoned at Yelesna
Yelesna is a mining town, with entrances to its north, south, west, and east. A river borders the town's east, over which runs a bridge. It has a town guard (or something similar).[1] Life is hard, what with the dangers outside the town, and the mining itself is dangerous work.[2] Magistrate Oleksii runs the village.[3]
The town practices capital punishment, but hangings were originally rare. After the town became host to a Knights Penitent garrison however, hangings became a weekly occurrence.[4]
History[]
At some point, the Knights Penitent established a garrison in Yelesna. They trained the town guard,[5] and attempted to recruit new members.[6] While many resented the presence of the Knights, the truth was that Yelesna would not be able to survive without the garrison, even if its people were too proud to admit it.[7] Many complained to Magistrate Oleksii, but he brushed their complaints aside.[3]
In 1336, the Knights stockpiled supplies in the town in preparation for a long winter.[8] Later that year, there was a reported demon sighting, which led to the town's mines being closed. Rumors spread throughout the townsfolk, some guessing (correctly) that it was because of a demon, others that it was werewolves. Unable to work, many of the townsfolk drank and gambled in the Hog's Head.[7]
While carrying the soulstone that contained Mephisto, Neyrelle passed through Yelesna. Violence was the result, as neighbors slaughtered each other over trivial slights.[9]
