	Sometime around 350 O.D., the land was still largely unoccupied, but its meager inhabitants had changed much. Because the group of people who fled Fejraka had nowhere to go, they were trapped in the area between [[Galdos]] and [[Drotid]] and left to fend for themselves. Most of the original inhabitants were dead within a few years, but the children and young adults they brought with them managed to survive. Over time, they formed small tribe-like groups that began to fight violently. These male-led groups essentially fought themselves into oblivion, leaving a few scattered bands of mostly women and a few men after nearly a century. The population was not doing well at sustaining itself. All of those who were left were malnourished and primitive, having forgotten their original cultures completely.

The population was not doing well at sustaining itself. All of those who were left were malnourished and primitive, having forgotten their original cultures completely.

	One day during that year, a lone female warrior named Myleah was hunting in the area of Fejraka's ruins when she saw an apple fall from a tree. Thinking this to be strange because it was not the month for apples, she investigated. (Hunger was also a significant motivation at the time, because she had been hunting for two days with no luck.) The beautiful half-elven woman bent down to pick up the apple and when she did, the air around her began to glow bright white. ~~Standing~~ in front of her surrounded by that glow ~~was the most beautiful human woman she had ever seen~~. The ~~figure~~ emanated a calm motherly vibe full of love and affection, with an air of strength, and she introduced herself to Myleah as the goddess [[Yeraiah]].		One day during that year, a lone female warrior named Myleah was hunting in the area of Fejraka's ruins when she saw an apple fall from a tree. Thinking this to be strange because it was not the month for apples, she investigated. (Hunger was also a significant motivation at the time, because she had been hunting for two days with no luck.) The beautiful half-elven woman bent down to pick up the apple and when she did, the air around her began to glow bright white. A disembodied voice emanated from in front of her surrounded within that glow. The presence emanated a calm motherly vibe full of love and affection, with an air of strength, and she introduced herself to Myleah as the goddess [[Yeraiah]].

	~~As Myleah fell to her knees, Yeraiah picked her up and hugged her.~~ The deity explained to Myleah that the suffering of the people of [[Jechran]] had gone on long enough and she was going to be their protector from now on. Yeraiah wanted her help spreading the message to the women of the forests. She said if Myleah ~~brought them back~~ to ~~this site,~~ she would ~~also~~ appear to ~~them~~ to walk among them and give aid. ~~It was thus how~~ the city named after Myleah was ~~founded~~ with Yeraiah as its benefactor. That first generation of dwellers in the settlement walked with Yeraiah and knew her well. She taught them how to survive and thrive in the woods, and how to take care of themselves through childbirth and illness. Though Yeraiah never had children of her own, she loved these women as she would her daughters.		The deity explained to Myleah that the suffering of the people of [[Jechran]] had gone on long enough and she was going to be their protector from now on. Yeraiah wanted her help spreading the message to the women of the forests. She said if Myleah helped [[Yeraiah]] recover her worshipers and restore her power to [[Avlis]] she would appear to the Jechrani to walk among them and give aid. After a long quest to restore faith in [[Yeraiah]] and a devastating war between the early Jechrani tribes and the [[Eshala]], Yeraiah helped the inhabitants start anew. Thus, the city named founded by and named after Myleah was established with Yeraiah as its original benefactor. That first generation of dwellers in the settlement walked with Yeraiah and knew her well. She taught them how to survive and thrive in the woods, and how to take care of themselves through childbirth and illness. Though Yeraiah never had children of her own, she loved these women as she would her daughters.

	By 500 O.D., the city of Myleah was a small settlement surrounding a wooden temple of Yeraiah. After the first generation of settlers, Yeraiah left the city to go help elsewhere, saying that they had learned what they needed to survive and thrive. Though ordinary survival was now second nature to the women of Jechran and their now-subservient males, the nations around them had started to stir and began incursions into the forests, sometimes coming as far north as Myleah to raid. For the most part, the raiders were shaahesk and snake men who would take women as slaves where they would never be seen again.

	The Golden Age of Dobrekan began its decline around the middle of ~~the~~ [[Fairy War]], circa 250 P.O.D. As the battle between the fairies of [[O'Ma]] and [[Titania]] raged throughout the forests of the world, the previously peaceful groups of sylphs, nymphs, and other fairy races in the area began to take a toll on the orcish peasants ability to make a living. Property damage became a common occurrence among the farmers of outlying Fejraka and few inquiries from the government and nobles of Dobrekan were answered by the fairy folk. Until the violence spilled over into the city itself and began to claim orcish lives, the conflict was mostly ignored as a nuisance. However, one day when a Titanian brigade fought its way through the streets of Fejraka to attack a wounded group of O'Ma's adventurers hiding in a temple, that was the last straw. The government of Dobrekan based in the city began mobilizing troops to clear the land of both Titanian and O'Ma fairies. Of course, the prospect of accumulating the riches and magical items of the fairy folk was also a great motivator in turning the people against the creatures.

	The City of Myleah takes up approximately a 1 km x 1 km square piece of flat land located in the forests of Jechran. It sits close to the edge of an old growth forest to the north. The center square of the city is dominated by two large temples across from one another, and a symbol of [[Dre'Ana]] decorating the floor of the square. The temple of Dre'Ana is slightly larger than the temple to [[Yeraiah]] across from it, but no less ornate. Each temple has charge of organizing certain aspects of the city. Dre'Ana's temple runs a nearby training center for warrior maidens while the temple to Yeraiah hosts a hospital and maternity ward, as well as a convocation center for Providers (see entry on Society and Rule below.)

	Myleah is the only walled city in [[Jechran]]. It is thought that the walls of the city originally surrounded the old temple district of the larger city of [[Fejraka]] and that they were repaired and reinforced slowly over time after the Great War. The present-day city occupies a partially artificial plateau in the forest that overlooks a slope heading down to Lake Batoma. This position puts it at an advantage against any attacks from the lower side, but at a disadvantage against attacks from further up the hill.		Myleah is the only walled city in [[Jechran]].

This position puts it at an advantage against any attacks from the lower side, but at a disadvantage against attacks from further up the hill.

	Surrounding the temple area in the center of town are residential dwellings for the priests and crafters that have taken up domiciles in the city. Most women of ~~Jechran~~ are nomads that roam with their tribe, or villagers that prefer smaller encampments. Thus, the population of the city is transitional with few permanent residents. It is mostly made up of incoming and outgoing tribes using the city as a nerve center of communication, negotiation, and trade.

	On the western side of the city are pens where Jechiras are bred, bought, and sold. Many tribes use these animals as mounts and pack mules, and it is much easier to work with a captive-bred reptile than a wild one. These Jechiras have been bred in captivity for several generations which makes them especially docile for use as working animals. Capturing these beast for use as war mounts is mostly done out of town.		On the western side of the city are pens where Jechiras are bred, bought, and sold.

	Women are the dominant gender in Jechran and must take measures to keep their place at the top of society. Treatment of men varies among the tribes. Each has its own specific policies. Some tribes keep no men and only trade for time with men for copulation with neighboring Jechrani tribes that do keep them. Others allow men some small form of freedom but force them to roam the wilderness alone and severely limiting their abilities to congregate in groups. Tribes that keep no men will not allow male infants to live in the village. Tribes that lean more toward evil will kill the infants or sell them as slaves to traders from Drotid. Other tribes will trade them away to tribes in need or simply cast them out to be found by other wandering males.

	Most tribes are ruled either by a single dominant warrior woman or by a council of elder warriors. In some cases, the priestesses of either Dre'Ana, ~~Yeraia~~, or both will lead the tribe.

	Tribes also usually have a dominant alignment and most members adhere to it or are cast out to join other tribes. In some cases, castoffs will band together and start a new one. Tribes can also be wiped out by war with other tribes, which happens frequently, especially between those of opposing alignments that cannot agree on local principles of living. Thus, the existence of tribes is quite fluid and changing. Only the most powerful tribes with multiple villages in their number can persist for hundreds of years.

Sages from all around would congregate in the great halls of Fejraka's universities to debate the nature of the multi-verse and planar travel. Even dwarven smiths from neighboring [[Galdos]] would venture into the city to peruse the wares of Fejraka's crafters and exchange skills for advancing metallurgy and weapons technology. Only the dreaded [[shaahesk]] to the south would give the people of Fejraka any headaches, with their constant incursions and skirmishes at the border. However, for much of this time, the lizard folk never made it much past that point.		The Golden Age of [[Dobrekan]] is the orcish term for this epoch that lasted until the beginning of the Great War.

	The strange relationship with the neighboring Titanian nixie settlement is acerbated by the influx of new trade. Traditionally, the nixies of Lake Batoma helped keep people away from Myleah by boat. Since the nixies derive some of their supplies and economic gain from sinking hapless boats that pass over the lake, they have inadvertently prevented invasion of Myleah from the east even in times when the two communities were at war. However, now that the influx of trade is enriching Myleah economically, sinking ships on the lake is becoming bad for Jechranian business. The nixies of Qwaveth instead see it as a boon to their own riches by the higher numbers of ships.

			'''The Ghosts of Fejraka'''

			Late at night to the southwest of the city, tribeswomen camping out in the woods are hearing strange ghostly noises coming from some ruins of the old city of [[Fejraka]].

The source of the noises is still a mystery.
