"Eldric Shadowchaser" is an alternate name for Azor Ahai. The main character, Elric of Melniboné, is the ruler of his city, while his cousin and heir Yyrkoon plots against him.
Hyrkoon appears to take its name from the Elric saga by Michael Moorcock. West of the Bone Mountains, the city of Yinishar, now the ruins of Vaes Jini, may have been connected with Hyrkoon, as the people of Yinishar were akin to the people of Shamyriana. The custom of having warrior women, who fight bare-breasted and pierce their nipples with iron rings and cheeks with rubies, shared by the above cities, possibly originates in the Patrimony.
This enmity survives into the present, with Jogos Nhai jhattars leading attacks on Kayakayanaya. The Hyrkoon, for their part, sacrificed tens of thousands of Jogos Nhai to their gods. īefore the Dry Times, the Patrimony fought a savage border war with the Jogos Nhai, who poisoned rivers and wells, burned towns and cities, and carried off thousands into slavery on the plains. The fortified cities of Kayakayanaya, Samyriana and Bayasabhad were once part of this great nation, each guarding the Steel Road, the Stone Road, and the Sand Road, respectively, from brigands, outlaws, and wild men of the Bone Mountains, and the savages that dwelt beyond them. The Patrimony of Hyrkoon was centered around a fertile area of rivers and lakes, since desiccated to become the Great Sand Sea, a time known as the Dry Times.
Its leaders appear to claim descent from him. The Patrimony is presumably connected with "Hyrkoon the Hero", another name for the legendary figure most commonly known as Azor Ahai. They founded the fortress cities of Kayakayanaya, Shamyriana and Bayasabhad.
It was ruled by the Patriarchs of Hyrkoon. The Patrimony of Hyrkoon was an ancient nation that flourished to the east of the Bone Mountains in Essos. Hyrkoon the Hero, with Lightbringer in hand, leads the virtuous into battle, as depicted by Jordi Gonzales Escamilla in The World of Ice & Fire.
