The Yokelaines is the southernmost former territory of the Eight Exiles, known for it's sprawling plains and forests with plenty of wildlife despite many city-states. The region extends from the megapolises of Marienmaw and Baunt, to the Zentil Forests to the city-states of Nocxaux and Wyald, to the Moghen Hills and the Morr Forests, and to the megapolises of Fisk and Marsthew. The socio-geographic region of Krudh neighbors the Yokelaines, and the westernmost cities of the Yokelaines suffers raids from Satyr Tribes as well as the [Mercenaries] of the city-states in the Krudh region. The cities around the Morr Forest and the Moghen Hills regularly fought Satyr Tribes that attempted to pass through the forest to access the Yokelaines.

Bison and other beasts roam the Yokelaine Plains despite the number of city-states surrounding the plains. Few Satyr Tribes were allowed to be nomads within the Yokelaine Plains, and even then, their nomadic camps are harassed by mercenary patrols despite paying tribute and trading with the city-states. Despite millennia of history, few of its ancient coastal megapolises remain, the oldest being Moorancor and Langoon, while the others had been rebuilt from multiple points in history. Many civilizations were simply lost to war or calamity in history, and grew into Ruins and Dungeons. The ancient roads are still maintained by patrols of the Diamond Shore Conglomerate, who rebuilt its stone roads built by the tolls extracted from travelers.
The Yokelaines, as well as the former territories of the eight Dukes, are dominated by the Diamond Shore Conglomerate which owns Libertalia's eastern coasts in general, but polities such as the Varstead Alliance of city-states and Maldent Trading that owns the western towns and mines near Krudh are the other second-most powerful factions in the region. The region is rich in lumber and stone, metal and mana crystals, as well as raw animal and monster materials that they import and export within the city-states and traded and exported within the ports of the region. Majority of it's salt trade is harvested from the Alimentaire Salt Flats, artificially created by Grand Alcheimagus Alimentaire of the lost city of Somerreine in an experiment that had forced the Sommer Lake to produce salt at the expense of draining the health of the surrounding soil. Many smaller companies also exists within cities and towns even with the dominance of these three factions within the region.
Adventurers also harvests loot from the largest dungeon in the region, which is the Coteui Dungeon, a former Dwarven fortress that became a Gold-rank dungeon. To date, the dungeon contributes 4,000-5000 gold worth of materials and treasure yearly to the High Morr settlements: Moghstead, Montangeth, and Couteuihille, and by extension, to the Diamond Shore Conglomerate.
