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, in some interpretations, the Mamkoon.

As 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.

Therefore, Xaewoon scholars typically say that Ydoh Rol is Mamkoon "by sentiment".
