Yakami is an island in the Middlesea south-west of Al-Qashqa. It is a peaceful land of feudal realms; oftentimes, adventurers and heroes leave this land in pursuit of gold to loot and evil to thwart in more barbaric lands.

Yakami is organized in the mortal realm under an absolute monarchy.

Yakami are oriental in appearance with pale skin and black hair. While the common soldier likely uses a spear, curved swords - especially the katana, a sort of bastard sword - are ubiquitous among more prestigious soldiers, with different sizes of swords having their own names in the Yakami language.

The Yakami lack a Paladin or Druidic tradition. Monks are very common, on the other hand; it’s common for powerful Yakami warriors to supplement their other skills with a few Monk levels.

On a meta level, Yakami is the land of the Samurai. Many Samurai characters hail from there, though the tradition of the bushido warrior has spread beyond the borders.
