Ydoh Rol /ˈɪdɑː 'rɑːl/ is the northernmost region of Tarnaria. Meaning "the edge of the world" in Asdoh, it is the most significant holy land of Xaewoon, a religious destination and a home to a diverse group of people known as Adzee.
Ydoh Rol is the autonomous region of Mantareia. It has a very minimal government, mostly dealing with administrative issues, and no standing army. Entry into Ydoh Rol is strictly forbidden and can only be granted on religious grounds by individual Ienanas.
As Mamkoon
Outside observers frequently make the mistake of equating Ydoh Rol to the concept of Mamkoon.
Ydoh Rol's relationship with its status as Mamkoon is unusual. Ydoh Rol has never been directly referred to as Mamkoon by any of the lores, and no documented movement, sect or version of Xaewoon has ever considered it as such. Guardians of Ydoh Rol are sometimes named as the sect that contested the status of Kingdom of Mamkoon as the true Mamkoon, instead propping up Ydoh Rol. However, their views were a bit more nuanced: they reasoned that Mamkoon is the ultimate holy land and that if a territory was to claim a status of the true Mamkoon, it should be at least as pure as Ydoh Rol. The Kingdom of Mamkoon lacks the holiness of Ydoh Rol, therefore, it cannot be Mamkoon.
Xaewoon scholars typically say that Ydoh Rol is Mamkoon "by sentiment", but those same scholars deny that it is the actual Mamkoon.
Sanctuary
In the beginning of the second revolution superhero warriors with complicated abilities were able to find relief in Ydoh Rol. Persistent rumors contended that such people were able to considerably weaken their abilities.
The first documented such case was Agzor, who spent the last years of his life at Ydoh Rol. Over the centuries, the existence of the Sanctuary became an accepted fact, albeit one that has never been officially confirmed.
The mechanism of action has also never been officially revealed, although consensus among historians is that Ydoh Rol had one of the Dream Seeds. It is believed that Tos Dormon somehow negotiated the delivery of the Dream Seed to Tonaran and brought it back to Ydoh Rol after the fall of the fortress.
Ydoh Rol's inaction during Lydian's conquests led to the backlash against the region, as it was believed that deploying the Dream Seed to Western Dantria could have stripped Lydian of his destructive powers. A negative attitude towards Ydoh Rol can still be encountered in western countries, in the Nari and Gantolia.
