King Iolas Gyasi of Yukar

♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱

Rocking on his heels while waiting for the gates to open, he wouldn't be surprised if they did not open at all. The United Council of Ephae made it, so the five kingdoms were 'allies,' but that did not mean everyone was friendly to each other - it only allowed trade routes to stay open, untaxed passages, and no outbursts of bloodshed. This treaty has caused peace amongst the region with these kingdoms, and everyone seemed to be acceptable for the time being.

Glancing around, he saw some of the common folk staring. He was not surprised since he was wearing such flashy clothing, bright red and gold which were the colors of the Yukar royal family. King Gyasi was in such an expensive appearing winter outfit since he knew that Basen was cold around this time of year.
The winter wonderland was usually cold, but they had their harsher months, so he rubbed his mitten-covered hands together before stepping back when the gates began to squeal open. A force from the gates caused snow flurries to puff into the air, which caused a smile to form on the old king's ageless face.

King Yolaf seemed not to wait for anything when he approached Iolas Gyasi, which the blonde-haired royal gave an appreciative smile that he was not ignored or rejected right away.
Depending on who you were and how old, King Iolas Gyasi could be an extremely hard-headed man and held onto grudges quite often. He was someone that took things to heart even if he said he didn't; he did.

Bowing to the other king for a greeting, "King Yolaf," he said with a faint smile and a bow of pleasantry. Seeming somewhat cheerful when it came to first impressions since he hadn't visited Basen in years.

Could it be impatience of the royal being in Yolaf's presence, or did the older man want to get this discussion over with? Either way, they both knew that this was essential if they wanted the trade routes to be safer.

"Yes," he said while following the royal inside. King Gyasi seemed to switch instantly when it came to business. The cheerfulness fell away, and a severe expression appeared in his eyes.
He was sighing at the thought of what had been happening. "I do not know if you read the news or if it has gotten to you. Our trade routes have been constantly attacked for the past week or two. These attacks do not appear to be easing up anytime soon," Iolas informed the other king while staying a few feet behind him at all times to show respect.

King of Yukar

Reference picture

♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱

Yukar was a kingdom that did not tolerate disorder or someone invading their lands and causing massive damage to their trade routes. These trade routes were linked to every domain, city, or place in the United Council of Ephae someway, shape or form.

When attacks on the main route that goes into Yukar and connects Basen and Raitish, the king decided to get meetings requested and in process. The first meeting was going to be with King Yolaf of the Northern regions, the ruler of Basen, and the king was not enthused with the idea.
The Basenites have always been rough around the edges, he had had to deal with Yolaf's father in the past, and hearing the stories of how Yolaf was when it came to envoys or others - He was bracing himself.

He couldn't help himself while riding in the carriage except to twist at his long blonde hair. The king of Yukar looked as young as his adoptive daughter, no one knows what the royal bloodline is of Yukar, but they are said to be a fae species or hybrid. They tend to have platinum blonde to light brown hair, purple or pink eyes, and fair skin. They live up to three times longer than regular humans, but they do not look a day of twenty-five till they hit about two-thirds of their age.

♱Arrival at Basen♱

When the carriage halted, he sighed while looking at the mountain range with the city built into it. It was a beautiful sight except for the thought of how difficult the people were here, "It is time," he whispered under his breath while putting on a smile.

"Sir, would you like us to go along with you?" one of the individuals in the carriage asked while readying to get up with his king.
Waving the guard off, he seemed to disapprove of this idea, "I should go seeking Yolaf alone," he stated while helping himself out of the carriage and walking down the snow-ridden street.

It was about a twenty or twenty-five-minute walk from the city's base to where the king's location was, the castle inside of the mountain. Getting to the gates and announcing himself, no one answered, so he looked around. He was waiting to be accepted into the Basenite royal halls.

@OddApproved Horned rabbits were there own thing yes.

@Dark Cloud

That's what I thought, thank you.

Ephae, A land of in-between

@OddApproved Idea for another thing for Basen's beastiary; horned white rabbits, possibly a nothern species of Oobra that live at the mountains bottom. A sort of foxlike creature that is the rabbits main predator.

@Dark Cloud

They wouldn't be Oobra (Oobra are Cervidea while rabbits are Oryctolagus.)

Horned white rabbits can be very possible; I will look into pictures.

Foxes, very possible. Will look into that.

I do not think you meant Horned white rabbits would possible be a northern species of Oobra (but Oobra are worldwide. Meaning you can find them anywhere in Ephae.)
