Yaga's laws as stated in your post reminded me of that old Eagles song, Yuri. That city doesn't seem to be a very safe place for outsiders...
Hi, Koir.
I didn’t notice the similarity between Hotel California and Yaga. Yes, you are right. Both of them are scary, and people can’t leave it.

As for the post composition, only some revisions were made to place sentence elements and concepts in slightly different order to make it read more naturally. I made a guess that "people on wires" meant they were being controlled as though they were puppets with no thoughts of their own. If that is incorrect, please change it to the correct expression.
I wrote what an internet dictionary says, but that was not enough again.
I meant that people were being controlled as though they were puppets with no thoughts of their own. Thank you for understanding.

Also, the part about Istavan's sons was changed slightly. The part where you wonder if the two sons are opposites was changed to better show that the sons are being compared. In this case, the number of items are only two, so "each other" is the proper expression. "Each" is a singular-form word, and "other" can be used in multiple items, but in this case it is modified by "each" to show that the items being compared are singular and not groups.
Their names are Durian and Istavan II. Durian will be a king of Mongaul, while Istavan II will be a king of Ghola. I think they will be foes and have wars.
What should I say? I thought that was “oppose”.
Anyway, I should have written more details.

Thanks as always, Koir.
