Yasid (Hatayan: يزد, Yazid) is an ancient city located in Aerla. Founded by the Hatayans in the 1500s AN, it served as a major trade center in Hatay, as well as The Green. The city is special due to the fact it is the only city in Aerla in which the mayor is of any nobility, with Sheikh Jiyaad al-Umar being granted suzerainty of the city.
History
Founded as capital of the Umar region by the Hatayans, the city was a notable population in Central Keltia during the golden years of Hatay. Much like other cities in the region at the time (such as Mola Ram, another regional capital), the city grew due to the gas and oil industry. The city was ruled by the powerful Umar family, who were appointed as Sheiks to the Umar region. However, after the mysterious fall of Hatay, most of the Umar region was overrun by tribal warlords. Albeit, the city itself remained well defended from these warlords and continued to prosper as a major hub for caravan traders up into the 17th Century AN.
The Grand Army of Aerla would soon make expeditions into the region and attempt to contact the Sheikh of the city, who at that point was Raafi al-Umar. An unnamed army arbiter was sent to the city in hopes to establish contact with the sheikh. However, this diplomat (along with his detail) where executed the the Sheiks Guards. This incident prompted the deployment of State Security Directorate operatives to assassinate the Sheikh. This mission was successful, and his son, Jiyaad al-Umar, was forced to swear fealty to the Aerlan State. Per the agreement, he would have the city under his control but under the careful watch of Noursala. He also was coerced into hosting a GAR regiment just outside the city.
