 * For other uses, see Yvresse (disambiguation).

Yvresse is a province in Mortal Empires, located in Ulthuan. It has an island climate. The Yvresse faction starts here.

Background
Yvresse is one of the outer kingdoms of Ulthuan. Facing the threats of invaders from the east has hardened the elves of Yvresse, and they can seem rather grim and serious to other elves. Their leader, Prince Eltharion the Grim, Warden of Yvresse, takes his duty to protect the eastern coast very seriously. All of Ulthuan is sparsely populated, by Yvresse is even moreso - filled with forests and wilderness between mountains and sea. Yvresse also is known for the Mists of Yvresse, a magical fog that repels invaders.

Gameplay
Yvresse has a natural advantage: the maze-like Shifting Isles to the east guard its coast, hindering naval movements of invaders. In game, they have many reefs and cause attrition.

To the southwest is Eataine and to the north is Cothique. Saphery is directly west, but access is blocked by the mountains. To the east of Yvresse, across the ocean, lie Estalia, Carcassonne and Bordeleaux.

The Mists of Yvresse can also cause attrition to invading armies on land.
