Many people are confused as to what Yliakum is... I looked it up in the overview to make sure I had it straight... and I\'m afraid that now I have found the problem.
This quote is from the overview pasge on the planeshift website: \"Yliakum is an underground city. The inhabitants, a mixture of different races, also call it the \"City of the Azure Sun\", referring to the huge crystal that gives the city its light and supplies the land with life-giving energy. Yliakum is located thousands of meters under the surface inside a huge excavated stalactite, hanging inside a cave so huge that it could contain any kingdom of the surface. For this reason IT is structured in grades...\"
This quote, I believe is the source of the confusion... it refers to Yliakum as a city at the beggining and then by the end Yliakum is made out of layers... making it the entire inside of the stalagmite... But then that idea is disputed in this quote from the History section: \"But Laanx and Talad were young and they didn\'t ask any other details on that as they were blinded by the possibility of creating a new world. Therefore, they used their powers to enlarge the niche and they obtained the huge cave made by eight levels.\"
Obviously the \'new world\' = \'the eight levels\' and therefore = Yliakum...
So I think the idea that Yliakum is a city is just where the Italien devs who made the site had some minor problems with translation... what they meant to say (I guess) is that Yliakum IS the world inside the stalagmite where the player races reside... although nothing says that it excludes the Stone Labyrinths.
-> looking at this from another angle though in which the word city was meant -> Yliakum might just be the capital of our stalagmite that hasnt been implemented yet
EDIT: Dev word on this issue would be appreciated - if this is a city a forum to discuss it would be nice like the \'Tree Castle\' Forum
