 ===== Recent History =====
+There have been several skirmishes between members of a dwarven trading company and Ysh'nan families. The dwarves contend they have the right to mine these mountains from [[atlas:G'huis]], but this land is claimed by Y'bome as their range. So far G'huis has not backed up the dwarves claim with military force, but most believe it is only a matter of time.
+Aside from difficulties with G'huis the families of Y'bome have been growing in number. The last hundreds years has seen a rise in both their population and those rathari immigrating. These families have begun to settle in the peaks and cave further east, pushing the land claimed as they move. Although these peaks are not has livable as the original homelands they are far richer in resources for trade.
 ===== History =====
+For as long as any rathari oral history has stories they have lived in the Shinhorn Ridge. Some stories content that these mountains are their original homeland. When the rathari began to spread out to the lowlands it was only natural that some families stayed in the homeland. These families were rooted in the old ways - the hunt, rule by elders, inter-family bonds, and pairs approved by the family. The rathari of the lowlands did prosper, but they lost something of themselves when they moved.
+==== G'huis ===
+Things would have stayed the same if not for the huis'nan, a lowlands family. They struck a bargain with the [[atlas:Children of the Sun]], humans that lived at the very southern peak of the land. This bargain was the devil's pact for it enriched the huis'nan over all other families and they used that wealth to coerce the other families in supporting them. These families became the point of their spear to bring any family that resisted the huis'nan.
+Eventually the warriors of those who fought for the huis'nan reached the edge of the Ysh'nan range. The families of the range would not be enslaved by their fallen cousins. Instead they retreated into the mountains of their homeland and fought them between the peaks. The rathari of the lowlands had forgotten the lessons of their ancestors and faced incredible difficulty flying so high in the mountains. They had grown fat and soft in the comfort of the trees and grasslands. The mountain is a harsh woman and she destroyed them.
+Three more times the G'huis brought their warriors forward to drive out the Ysh'nan and each time they failed. The last effort was by many of the huis'nan themselves. These soldiers did not just try and drive out their cousins, they poisoned their waters and killed their herd. There was no intention to offer quarter - so the Ysh'nan granted none. Of the four thousand soldiers the huis'nan brought to their mountain the Ysh'nan only allowed one to go free. It would be the last time G'huis would attack their mountain cousins.
+==== Firock Stronghold ====
+The great dwarven [[lore:stronghold]] had sat empty for as long as any rathari lore spoke of it. Said to be blighted by some great evil that killed all dwarves who lived there - buried their secrets. The ysh'nan respected the sanctity of [[atlas:Firock Stronghold|Firock]], unlike many others. In Y 213 [[lore:Age of Heroes|AH]] a mixed human and dwarven expedition numbering in the hundreds marched across their range and entered Firock.
+This expedition did not respect the ysh'nan. They offered no gifts for the rights of passage nor even a sacrifice to The Wind. So they were hunted by the rathari and storms lashed their encampments. Dozens died on the march through Y'bome before they reached Firock, which is on the very edge of the range. After making camp they sent smaller groups into the ruins of the stronghold.
+Whatever lives in there did not take well to the intrusion. Unlike the rathari it was capable of far more destruction. Fire and smoke belched out of the peak and covered the encampment in hot ash. The entire expedition was killed, but this creature did not stop with the intruders. The rathari were forced to leave many of their homes that bordered the stronghold as the ground shook and entire peaks collapsed in a landslide.
+The ysh'nan lost several familes, numbers dozens of dead, before the creature again settled and The Wind stopped carrying firebrands to kill their herds. The ysh'nan now consider this land cursed and forbid any family from settling withing sight of the stronghold. Even those close shelter in caves rather than along peaks.

 ===== Politics =====
 //See also: [[atlas:Dakarian Fiefdoms]], [[atlas:Dakar Shires]]//
+Y'bome is an isolationist range. They want nothing from those around them and they give nothing in return. Only the smallest trade flows between the ysh'nan and their neighbors. Occasionally they allow a very small number of outsiders into the range, but they always have twice as many rathari guarding them as they bring with them.

 === G'huis ===
-The Y'bome share a small northeastern border with G'huis. The Ysh'nan were the first range to seek mutual protection from the huis'nan. Their home among the lower mountains and evergreens gave them strong natural defenses to any intrusions on their land. They have brought in engineers to construct large theodovan towers and even a pair of keeps to remind the huis'nan they will not be killed in the night.
+The Y'bome share a small northeastern border with G'huis. They have fought several wars with the Y'bome destroying those soldiers sent against them. This history of animosity and distrust means very little trade or communication passes between these two ranges.
+=== V'eand ===
-Very little trade or communication passes between these two ranges with distrust still strong among the Y'bome.
