Yûlash

Yûlash was a fortress city of around 7,000 people that was located on a strategic plateau at the nexus of several trade routes on the western edge of the Moonsea. The city, given its strategic and defensible location, had a history of being a vassal state and point of contention between the rival powers of the Moonsea region.

Independence
Since first gaining nominal independence in 1255 DR, Yûlash went through at least one extended civil war, had been the battleground of several wars between Zhentil Keep and Hillsfar, and once was even banished into the Abyss for a two-year period in the early 1370s Dale Reckoning.

Afterward, Yûlash again became a nominally independent state, and the city spent the next several years recovering from the ravages of the latest war between Zhentil Keep and Hillsfar as it attempted to find its own place in the region.
