Yent



Yent is an island in the Pendric Sea populated mostly by Yentish humans. Yent has a temperate climate with warm summers and cold, snowy winters. Rainfall is high year round. Long-divided, the island was unified by King Oswalt IV in 622 in the aftermath of the Hetman's War. It remains poor and politically backward by mainland standards.

Yent is an important stop on the pilgrimage to the lawgiver's birthplace in Nessex; its largest city, Alcora, was founded as a way-station by Sankhreti pilgrims. The Sankhreti were very politically influential in Yent prior to the Siege of Alcora (622) by Hetman Jan.

The island has come under the influence of the Meniard Empire since the unification. Since the institution of the New Yent Law in 622, Yent has become a significant exporter of indentured convicts; most of these bondslaves have their contracts bought by the empire, who are using them for massive construction projects.
