Ison

Ison is an ancient ruined Ikanian city, located roughly 45 miles southwest of Ikana Castle. It was destroyed circa 2993 BG during the Ikanian Civil War.

History
Ison was one of the first cities founded by the Ikanians as they migrated into Hyrule from the south. It was located in the Ison Valley.

A City of the Moon, symbolic gateway into the world beyond, and home of the Ison River, the River of the Dead, which flowed east into the Sea of Storms. Here the dead were received from Molcana, down the metaphysical River of Souls, and interred in the canyons and beneath the earth. The priests of Ison were famed for their funeral dirges and songs to the dead. However, a place dedicated to death knows only death, and it was here Captain Keeta was born.

During the fall, knowing only death, the people turned to warring upon one another, and blood rained down in Ison. The river dried up, the city crumbled to dust, and the very weapons themselves were corrupted. Here the viel between the world of the living and dead is thinnest, and the only things that live are those that feed upon the dead, beetles and other vermin.
