'''Yu''' is a city in the [[Mutul|Divine Kingdom]]and the capital of the [[Yajawil of Yokok'ab]]. It was founded 2200 years ago by the [[Divine Monarchy of the Mutul|K'uhul Ajaw]] [[Chaan Dynasty|Muwaan B'alam]] after his pacification of the Tzib’ahal cities. From a single garrison, it grew into a vast port city through its strategic location and outshined the previous hubs of the {{wp|Putún Maya|Yokot'an peoples}}, such as Joy Chan or Waxak Balam. It was the main port from which ships would set sail to [[Mutulese Ochran|Ochran]], and return with exotic goods and products. Today it remain an important trade hub and point of contact with Ochraneses nations, with its port seeing most of the traffic between the Mutul and [[Mutul-Tsurushima relations|Tsurushima]], [[Mutul-Pulau Keramat relations|Pulau Keramat]], and [[Ruam]]. Politically and economically, Yu remain the heart of Yokok'ab to this day. One of the [[Banking in the Mutul|"Big Four" banks]] also has its headquarter in Yu : the [[West Maritime Bank]]. | '''Yu''' is a city in the [[Mutul|Divine Kingdom]] and the capital of the [[Yajawil of Yokok'ab]].

==Geography== | |||
===Localisation=== | |||
The city is located 285 km to the south-west of [[K'alak Muul]]. The original city, built in 200 BC, was located only on the left shore of the [[Sa River]], on an hill a few kilometers south of its mouth. Since then, Yu expanded on both shores and ultimately reached the river's {{wp|estuary}} turning the old garrison city into an important trade port. Yu is at the very south of the [[Bay of B'ah]], which connect it to the [[Ajax|Makrian Ocean]]. | |||
==Climate== | |||
Yu has a {{wp|Tropical rainforest climate|equatorial climate}}, more subject to the {{wp|Intertropical Convergence Zone}} than the {{wp|trade winds}} and with no {{wp|cyclone}}. The climate is hot, very humid, and very wet. With 269,38 milimeters of precipitations on average every month of the year, there's no true {{wp|dry season}} especially considering that it's protected from current and wind effects from the north by the {{wp|equator}} to the north, and by the important mountain ranges of western Mutul to the south. | |||
As the atmospheric pressure is low and almost constant, the (horizontal) pressure gradient is low. Consequently the winds that reach Yu are rare and usually weak, rarely more than a breeze from the sea. It does however, like the rest of [[Yajawil of Yokok'ab|Yokok'ab]], experience extraordinary amount of precipitation, averaging roughly 3,000 millimetres of rainfall annually. In fact in no month does Yu, on average, see less than 100 millimetres of precipitation. | |||

Yu is a city in the Divine Kingdom and the capital of the Yajawil of Yokok'ab. It was founded 2200 years ago by the K'uhul Ajaw Muwaan B'alam after his pacification of the Tzib’ahal cities. From a single garrison, it grew into a vast port city through its strategic location and outshined the previous hubs of the Yokot'an peoples, such as Joy Chan or Waxak Balam. It was the main port from which ships would set sail to Ochran, and return with exotic goods and products. Today it remain an important trade hub and point of contact with Ochraneses nations, with its port seeing most of the traffic between the Mutul and Tsurushima, Pulau Keramat, and Ruam. Politically and economically, Yu remain the heart of Yokok'ab to this day. One of the "Big Four" banks also has its headquarter in Yu : the West Maritime Bank.
In sport, Yu is famous for its many Pitz courts. The B'atabob of the city have been champions of the theories placing the origin of the sport in Yokok'ab, and Yu itself is often proclaimed "capital of international Pitz" or the "Court Lords' antichamber", as it has always been in Yu that the Divine Throne hosted international competitions such as as the Pitz World Court. A fact that remained true in 2020, when the Mutul was hastily declared host-country by the Secular Rectorate after Enyama, the chosen host, fell into civil war in-between editions.
Yu is also one of the most visited Mutulese city by tourists. An international airport link it to many countries and tourists from all over Ochran, Malaio, and Scipia first set foot in the city when they visit the Divine Kingdom, even if its then to join K'alak Muul or go anywhere else. Yu itself is rich in historical sites and artistic centers attracting many tourists on their own.
Geography
Localisation
The city is located 285 km to the south-west of K'alak Muul. The original city, built in 200 BC, was located only on the left shore of the Sa River, on an hill a few kilometers south of its mouth. Since then, Yu expanded on both shores and ultimately reached the river's estuary turning the old garrison city into an important trade port. Yu is at the very south of the Bay of B'ah, which connect it to the Makrian Ocean.
Climate
Yu has a equatorial climate, more subject to the Intertropical Convergence Zone than the trade winds and with no cyclone. The climate is hot, very humid, and very wet. With 269,38 milimeters of precipitations on average every month of the year, there's no true dry season especially considering that it's protected from current and wind effects from the north by the equator to the north, and by the important mountain ranges of western Mutul to the south.
As the atmospheric pressure is low and almost constant, the (horizontal) pressure gradient is low. Consequently the winds that reach Yu are rare and usually weak, rarely more than a breeze from the sea. It does however, like the rest of Yokok'ab, experience extraordinary amount of precipitation, averaging roughly 3,000 millimetres of rainfall annually. In fact in no month does Yu, on average, see less than 100 millimetres of precipitation.
