Aeohs (ae-oh-s)
aeohs is a large city of yetrisi along the banks of the talinon river, it is the largest yetrisi settlement and is the central holy site of aakinism. built on a massive orchal swamp, the city lies in large area of sparser trees allowing from greater space to expand. these trees have also been coated in blue nectar from the swamp by yetrisi over thousands of years, providing near unheard of illumination in the yevelian jungle.
Demographics
aeohs maintains a permanent population of 110 thousand of yetrisi, primarily farmers and hunters needed to sustain a large population in such a harsh environment.
Government
the governance of the city is mostly handled by the yetrisi elders the religious leaders of aakinism. however, this is generally rather loose and little law code or civil structure is enforced, instead, most people grow and gather enough food to live or trade with their fellows for any excess. there is an exception to this, the labor tax; all able-bodied adults must contribute several days of work for the common good. how this is collected varies from profession to profession, for instance, a farmer might be asked to give up part of their harvest to be stockpiled, or a woodworker may fix or clear paths and bridges around the city. these things are not necessarily required, but they are strongly encouraged through social ostracization and are generally abided by.
History
the history of aeohs is similar to much of yetrisi history; in that, it little ever changes. since its founding 4800 years ago, the city has grown substantially, becoming by far the largest population center in the yevelian jungle and the home of the yetrisi elders; the closest thing there is to a government in the jungle.
