Located in a large cave system beneath the Shamtota Hills, close to Bloodloch, the Yohanan Village was formed over several months by a large group of escaped slaves, named by Madelen, one of the elder slaves, who used the name of her husband who had died while working as a slave for Bloodloch. Through their hard work, they managed to eke out a less than comfortable living, before they were found once more by Bloodloch.
Since their discovery, the slaves have lived under the watchful eye of the undead Valinen, who ensures that they are unable to leave the village without being captured and brought back to Bloodloch for reeducation.
