Etymology

Saint Yrieix (Aredius), who died in 591, was a contemporary of Gregory of Tours. In Attanum he founded a monastery that is the source of the walled city of Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche. He went to the tomb of St. Julien Brioude and brought the relics, and he went very often to pray at the tomb of St. Martin at Tours. He also built churches in honor of various saints he had gone for the relics.

Under the French Revolution, to follow a decree of the Convention, the town changed its name to Yrieix le Déjalat.

gollark: Most useful access to it requires an account. Nobody knows how to make one, especially as the authentication mechanisms it relied on are all down, but fortunately a "try APL" REPL with more permissions than it probably should have still functions and allows anonymous access.
gollark: Well, in my headcanon, the system was never designed to be "magic" but is a relic from a more advanced civilisation which can self-repair a decent amount.
gollark: Oh wait, you can, have the system also have a bunch of robotic lifeforms tied into it but make them weird lifeishly and call them "elementals".
gollark: I don't think you can give this system many powers unless you just handwave it as magic nanobots or something.
