Ŭtasiĭ is the capital of the High Kingdom of Yi. Historically known as Aatassyr, the town gained prominence in the 9th century when it was chosen by members of the Rei nobility in opposition to the rule of the Rei King as their base of operations. Under the first High King, Siaura Ütöingkë (Siowa Inŭhŏ), Ŭtasiĭ de facto became the capital of the High Kingdom, which was only confirmed de iure in 1951.
