Aliases

Jerusalem (Biblical)
Ithziel (Regional/Alternate identifier)

Specifics

Location: Described as a "great city" located in the far south (1st Vovfen 1:2).

The Catastrophe: The city suffered a catastrophic "fall" and was destroyed by Harethal, referred to as "the whore of the earth" (Prophesies and Visions 3:55).

Migration Catalyst: Its destruction forced a mass migration; Yōhannaz and others fled Aiyesholames to settle in Germania to the west (1st Vovfen 1:1).

Observations and Speculations

The Urban vs. Regional: The phrasing "Aiyesholames, that great city of Ithziel" establishes a clear hierarchy between the urban center and the surrounding regional identity of Ithziel, mirroring the relationship between Jerusalem and Israel.

The Prototype Exodus: This event serves as the foundational trauma for this people—the loss of their spiritual home—which defines their subsequent identity as "custodians in exile."
