Yatar Autonomous City State, situated two kilometres from its shore was a tiny island, barely spanning 400 square metres. Standing on it was an ancient temple, now almost in ruins due to a lack of maintenance.

This temple was built by a Kingdom that existed in this place more than a millennium ago, a reigning power that had once garnered trade influence for half the world. But over time, it collapsed.

And currently, this ruin of a temple was one of the few surviving architects of that era, one long gone past. There were four ships currently surrounding the island, situated five hundred metres away each, forming a layer of protection.

These ships were from Yatar City State, meant as protection to the distinguished guests that were visiting it on neutral terms. As Yatar City State was selected as the neutral grounds, they had to be responsible for protection.
