====== Yhtill ======

Yhtill is one of three cities in the land of [[Hastur]] (though this name wasn't mentioned in the play as performed), along with [[Alar]] and [[Carcosa]]. Yhtill sits on the lake of Hali. It has a hereditary monarchy descended from its first king [[Aldones]] (Yhtillic for 'father'). The current ruler of Yhtill at the time of the play [[Carcosa, or The Queen and the Stranger]] is queen [[Cassilda]].

  * Yhtill is at war with Alar and has been for a long time. The City has become stagnant, almost detached from time.
  * Yhtill appears to have some odd views on incest as the succession of the rulership of the city (symbolized by the possession of a diadem) is decided by the queen's daughter choosing one or her brothers to marry.
  * The rulers of Yhtill fear receiving [[The Yellow Sign]].
  * The city (and its rulers) are associated with the [[Hyades]].
  * At the end of Carcosa, or The Queen and the Stranger, [[The King in Yellow]] merges Yhtill with Carcosa to destroy Alar.
