Aiyesholames
Definition: a great city in the far south and the ancestral home of Yōhannaz's lineage.
Aliases
- Jerusalem (Biblical)
- Ithziel (Regional/Alternate identifier)
Specifics
Location: Described as a "great city" located in the far south (1st Vovfen 1:2).
The Catastrophe: The city suffered a catastrophic "fall" and was destroyed by Harethal, referred to as "the whore of the earth" (Prophesies and Visions 3:55).
Migration Catalyst: Its destruction forced a mass migration; Yōhannaz and others fled Aiyesholames to settle in Germania to the west (1st Vovfen 1:1).
Observations and Speculations
The Urban vs. Regional: The phrasing "Aiyesholames, that great city of Ithziel" establishes a clear hierarchy between the urban center and the surrounding regional identity of Ithziel, mirroring the relationship between Jerusalem and Israel.
The Prototype Exodus: This event serves as the foundational trauma for this people—the loss of their spiritual home—which defines their subsequent identity as "custodians in exile."
