Yatehcaa is a domain of arid [[mountain]]s and [[desert]]s. In bringing this land into [[Ravenloft]], [[the Dark Powers]] have rearranged much of the terrain into confusing patterns to bamboozle [[Coyote]], the [[darklord]] they have [[imprisoned]] here.<ref name=USS2002p318-319>[[Undead Sea Scrolls 2002]] p.318-319</ref>

The [[Yateh]] are the people of this [[domain]]. They live a lifestyle that is oriented towards traditional values and family connectedness. As with many [[domain]]s, agriculture forms the basis of life for most Yateh. Women dominate weaving and pottery, whereas a few families have fathers that teach their sons the mysteries of silversmithing and ironsmithing. The Yateh recognize no central authority but are governed by the family rule of the oldest women, and the [[priest]]s, whom are men. The typical [[priest]] is morely likely to be a [[druid]] than a [[cleric]].<ref name=USS2002p319>[[Undead Sea Scrolls 2002]] p.319</ref>

The Yateh view on magic is noteworthy in that [[wizard]]s are reviled but [[sorcerer]]s are exalted. Wizards are thought to have been taught the stolen words of creation by Coyote. On the other hand, sorcerers are seen to have been granted use of them from the [[god]]s.<ref name=USS2002p319-320>[[Undead Sea Scrolls 2002]] p.319-320</ref>
