This thread is basically an explanation of how Ys works and how it works. It's OOC explanation and will probably be pinned in the subforum later.
HISTORY OF YS
An ancient capital city, which, according to the will of the city itself, ages more than 500 years. Its origin is unknown as MEMORIA herself does not have any memories prior to its inception. She, however, remembers her goal: "Survive, and be seed of tree that will futher spread life and growth to this world. The city's original name have been lost to time, even to MEMORIA herself. Although not the name of the city, it once have alias of 'Glow of Hope', because how much it shone when seen from the distance in vast expanse of desert full of sand, salt and snow.
Ys now located inside a mountain-like structure with open top, which from above, could look as if the city itself is inside a caldera. The truth is far from it however. According to MEMORIA "the old city did not fall from battle with outsiders. It's strive from inside which creates a huge rift that caused countrymen to fight against each other, until dislike turns into something worse than hate: apathy." As result of the apathy, Ys lost its main power source - bond, trust, mutual growth and slowly losing power. This becomes a ripe situation for outsider who have been viewing Ys as a treasure trove that they'd like to inspect. They immediately banded together and attempted to invade the city. The countrymen, divided by their differences and dislikes unable to coordinate well. Ys defense fell.
In that great wall, MEMORIA shrunk its barrier down, sacrificing buildings and create sandstorm to protect her people, to which outsiders attempted to fight back by burning the wall of sands, creating the crater everyone knows at this point. Tons of buildings are gone, but even so the city remained and its countrymen safe. Unfortunately, this began even more chain of event as people started blaming one another.
The leader back then, in last bid to save their countrymen, made a sacrifice with MEMORIA: Their whole memories of Digital World, for the safety of everyone. Using what left of their power, both MEMORIA and the leader ejected everything under radius of 1000 kilometer from the city's borders, rendering area around Ys that used to be filled with native floras and atmospheric scenery absolutely barren. And just like that, the city fades away from people's memory, as if it didn't exist to begin with.
MEMORIA lost her power then and hibernated... until one day, she was woken up by a pair touching Spiria, the crystals that reacts to bonds, emotions and feelings... she described the reappareance as like "finally existing after drifting in nonexistence for a long while". Ys was found, but what's left was completely far cry from its glorious era. Eventually, KIZNA started to rebuild this city. It looked different from the old, but still, the spirit lives on, and to MEMORIA, that was the most important.
