Yah Thalas

Yah Thalas is the only known major Arachne city. For almost five thousand years the city has existed in isolation under the Westedge mountains.   Around three thousand years ago the city came under major attack by a large goblinoid uprising from deeper in the underdark. The city held and survived but suffered massive damage. Due to this the Arachne people used the captured goblinoid survivors to help rebuild their city. This extended to after the city being rebuilt however and the goblinoids of the city have become a stable source of slave labor for the Arachne people of Yah Thalas.   This nature of servitude has become normalized through the indoctrination that the Arachne people need to lead these "barbarians" to a better future, although not all agree with this point of view...
