The Yd Freehold is a settlement located in the {{favilink|Palladium Reef}}. It is home to the [[denizens of the Yd Freehold]]. | |||
== Lore == | |||
{{favilink|Goek}} claims that the Yd Freehold was built by himself, {{favilink|Geeub}}, {{favilink|Mak}}, and {{favilink|Many Eyes}} over the course of hundreds of years (although Geeub somewhat downplays their involvement -- see [[#History of the Yd Freehold|History of the Yd Freehold]]). The Freehold is described as a "grand experiment"<ref name="Rokhas_Grand_Experiment">{{favilink|Rokhas}} uses this term in conversation.</ref>, and as a place of refuge for its inhabitants. {{favilink|Warden Une}} calls the Freehold "a collective thriving without hierarchy." | |||
The Yd Freehold is noted for its "lyrical community"<ref name="Lyrical_Community">This is referenced in the description of the {{favilink|Yd Freehold}} on the [[world map]], as well as in {{favilink|In Maqqom Yd}}.</ref> in several places. | |||
=== Early History of the Yd Freehold === | |||
{{speculation}} | |||
When asked about her involvement in the formation of the Yd Freehold, Geeub says: | |||
{{qud quote|... Yes, we were present, if less active than other-bodies. But we saw, and rattle with memory-artifacts as a Consortium lockbox rattles with jewels; shards of an eon-old data disk, bits of stories and places. Kin-fleeing, louse-meals, ghastly boredom. But Fate's caprice brought us through history's footsteps. There was a machine-speaker, and her ursine apprentice with his little plant, and the Sower with a tetrad of chubby whelps, and then, at last, Many-Eyes. Our dear galgal. So many.}} | |||
The "ursine apprentice with his little plant" may be a reference to {{favilink|Barathrum the Old}} and {{favilink|Euclid}}. "The Sower" is most likely Abram I, who is given that title in {{favilink|Frivolous Lives, Vol. I}}, and is said to have had four children. It is unclear who the "machine-speaker" may have been in this context. | |||
