Yios

Yios is an orcish city in Aeshanadoor in Marquet. Known as a historically erudite society and considered by some to be the "Marquesian peak of collegiate study", it competes against Ank'Harel to be considered the center of scholarship on the continent.

Description
It previously had a skyport, but it was dismantled during the Apex War with the Stratos Throne in the Taloned Highlands and had not been rebuilt by 843 PD. Traveling to Yios is difficult without a guide.
