Yu is a city in the Divine Kingdomand 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.
