Yanshi

File:Yanshi Sign.png

Yanshi was a small Sho town most notable for the very large rock in the middle of the town square. Legend has it the rock was the site of Ben Ten's stand against the invading Tumeroks.

Unfortunately, this picturesque town was utterly destroyed during the Atonement event, when an entity known as the Harbinger came into being, and now remains as Old Yanshi.

Fortunately, during the Festivus event, most of the townsfolk were able to escape, and lived in a tent city north of town until a newer, better walled town could be built at 12.1S, 42.4E to the west of the old ruins (Through Sacrifice, Strength patch).

Asheron's Call Manual Text

During the Sho's first days on Dereth, the land just northwest of the Blackmire Swamp was rife with Tumeroks, and many defenseless folk fell beneath their blades. In that time, a master swordsman named Ben Ten roamed the land, giving aid to those who needed it. Ben Ten Vanished into legend soon after the Tumerok menace was thrawted The Last place he was seen was standing atop a large rock near the edge of the swamp, and some of his followers settled there considering the stone to have been blessed by is presence. The village that arose on that spot - called Yanshi or "town of the boulder" - has grown in the past several years into a trading center, with roads leading into both the Gharu'ndim and Aluvian lands as well as deeper into the Sho realm.

Points of Interest

The Sacred Stone, found in the midst of Yanshi, is the last known place where the swordsman Ben Ten was seen. Some folk, however, claim to have sighted him since.
In the time before Ben Ten came, many of those who would one day settle in Yanshi tried to hide from the Tumerok scourge in a subterranean dungeon complex. The dungeon, however, was rife with monsters that slew many of those seeking shelter. The survivors claim that the creatures that drove them out remain in those catacombs.

Antius Blackmoor Memorial

Just outside the walls of the new town lies a state of Antius Blackmoor under which his tomb lies. Blackmoor was slain by Jared Kurth by a special weapon that made it impossible to return to the lifestone so he is permanently dead. Double clicking on his tomb a character will gain a small amount of % based experience.

You bow your head in a moment of silence for Antius Blackmoor. Despite any political feelings you may hold, you cannot help but feel sadness for a warrior slain in the course of this war.
You've earned X experience.
