Description

This man does not belong to any ethnicity or culture that existed in the First Cosmopolitan Age. He is a citizen of the city-state of Yksin, which rose on the Amu Darya river in the 8th millennium CE, soon after the Fourth Fall. The river provided the city both with food, in the form of fish and waterfowl, and work, through extensive complexes of watermills. The citizens greatly prized their independence and initiative, until they fell to the great warlord Dhul-Carnan in the mid-81st century.

In the top right are the effigies of the "Ancient Kings" Isas and Iltar, then greatly revered by all the people of Pan-Turania. These mighty rulers - one good, the other evil - were the only names remembered from before the First Fall; according to the myth, the war between the Ancient Kings lasted ten thousand years, and created all the blessings and curses of civilized life. All citizens of Yksin keep a copy of this effigy in their homes, to call for the help of Isas against the plagues sent by Iltar.
