Isyl

Isyl is a nation in the northeast populated by Drow elves. It is Mindryl Everhana's birthplace, and is currently caught up in a war with Yseri.

Geography
Isyl is largely mountainous, and quite cold, bordering Yseri to the east and Cearhiem to the south. Isyl is largely mountainous, especially in the south and east where the Coranin Peaks separate it from its bordering nations. The interior is less mountainous, being forested in the south and a tundra in the north. Lolth's Peak rises in the middle of the nation, as well as the holy city of Xundyn, dedicated to worship of Lolth.

The capital city is Ada Ragon, although it is only the second largest city, being beaten by Blaeraulur. Mounaufein follows close behind. The most famous Isyl structure is the Lyezeroth, a tower in the North, although it is currently owned by Yseri.

History
Isyl was previously a part of Neignther, with the land being populated sparsely by Drow elves and having very little bearing on politics outside their own communities. As their own culture developed into something more structured, they began fighting for independence, around the same time as the great wars split up borders across the continent. Today, they are at war with Yseri, in the Isyl-Yseri War.

In-Game
Although Isyl was never traveled to, it was mentioned numerous times, especially in Mindryl's backstory. Mindryl was a former military captain fighting in southwest Yseri under their lead, but his exposure to the outside world opened his eyes to their culture's hostility and he abandoned his post. The officials in Isyl have officially exiled him and are searching for him.

Isyl was said by a Drow in the Axminster mines to be planning something sinister against Yseri. Months later, news breaks that Yseri is accusing them of stealing an artifact from the Lyezeroth, which Isyl denies. This has the potential of making the Isyl-Yseri war grow even more serious.
