Ykalon is an area in the Iliac Bay region, before the Warp in the West it was a fiefdom, but then became a part of the Kingdom of Daggerfall after the Warp.[1] It is surrounded by Phrygias to the east, Urvaius, Daenia, and the Ilessan Hills to the south, and Northmoor to the west. Its capital was the city of Ykalon. Castle Llugwych, one of the headquarters of the Blades is located in this region. The Plessington Clan is a noble family of Bretons from Ykalon that led a knightly order called the Order of the Cup. In 3E 405, Lord Plessington led the order and sent them off to right a wrong and come back with a story or two.[2]
Thrafey vampires are known to stalk prey here, and the regional deity is Mara. Forces from Ykalon participated in the Battle of Firewaves which brought about the defeat of the Camoran Usurper.[3] Perseverance Day is a festival held every year by the people of Ykalon during Sun's Dawn, though it was originally a solemn day of memorial for those killed in the battle.[4]
The events of the Warp in the West led to most of the forests in Ykalon being burned down.[1]
