Yara had traveled far and wide, learning black and forbidden magic, when he came upon a yellow-skinned people worshipping an elephant-headed being in the jungles of Khitai. Through trickery and magic he turned this godling, Yag-Kosha, into his slave and brought him back to Zamora in chains of steel and sorcery.
It is said that Yag-Kosha built Yara's tower in a single night, and that the Heart of the Elephant keeps Yara immortal -- he is already over 300 years old.
