A klatchian desert city where it is said that the Klatchians invented the concept of zero.

A greedy Seriph of the city was once cursed by a dyslexic deity so that everything he touched turned into glod. Glod being a blameless dwarf in a far off mountain community, who found himself being dragged to Al-Ybi and relentlessly duplicated. Over two thousand glods later the curse wore off. But to this day the people of Al-Ybi have a reputation for being both bad tempered and short in stature.
