Yaaamemon's Rock

Yaaamemon's Rock, also known as Amedrah Yaaamemon in Penoisa and colloquially as the Spire, is an island located in the Eastern sea, about 40 miles off the coast of modern-day Nodal. The island is notable for being the location of Yaaamemon's Sacrifice, where Tulkon Yaaamemon released a charge of energy that defeated the Demons at the end of the 40-Year War.

Prior to the 40-Year War, the island was part of Ynoforan Country. When the lands that were once Ynoforan Country were declared a neutral zone between Orcanth and the Usybork Republic, the island also became neutral.

At the end of the 40-Year War, Yaaamemon chose the island as the site of his sacrifice because his energy blasts would be able to reach the entirety of Demon territory from that point. After the sacrifice, an enormous rock spire sprouted from the ground, permanently marking the end of the war and the Demon threat. However, the sacrifice also resulted in the temporary end of the Tulkon Cycle, as the Essence of the Tulkon was trapped within the Rock.

In 1506 AT, the island remained unclaimed. Orcanth and the relatively young nation of Nodal were fighting over trade routes in the Eastern Sea. A small skirmish took place on the island, which resulted in the Rock being struck by an explosive. The Essence of the Tulkon escaped the Rock and found its way to Nodal, where it reincarnated as the Dwarf Epodora.

On multiple occasions, the Rock was used to spread healing energy by the Tulkon. It acted as a sort of beacon for healing magic, and allowed it to be spread vast distances, even globally. This was notably done by Tulkon Eoonanone and Tulkon Ico. However, both instances did result in some minor damage to the Rock, suggesting that it couldn't be done too many times without risking permanent damage.

Due to its religious significance, the Rock remained unclaimed for millennia. After the end of the Immortal War, the Tulkonist Council was reformed, and it decided to place its headquarters at the base of the Rock. It was at the island that the Tulkonist Army would train and be quartered, and where Council affairs would be conducted. At the start of the Keghotogh Crisis, forces from Yaaamemon's Rock sailed north to the mouth of the Darrom River, where they would make their way to Keghotogh City.
