Yeninskiy

[Rey]

Actually both sources mention the orog invasion, but in different time frame. TotHW gives an info of two direct descendants, who now hold a partial rule in Yeninskiy, of a previous noble that died in a battle against orog invasion.

Although this sounds like a nice idea.

Now, something else struck me as peculiar. One third of a power in Yeninskiy is held by three pirates named Yousera Brotherhood. And Youseran Peninsula is the peninsula located in today's Merasaf. A bit odd, but they could have come from that southern part of Old Merasaf.

I can't find if Merasaf has it's own topic, but it's connected with Yeninskiy, so...

Anyway, just wanted to say that given the size of Yeninskiy today + 4 provinces Raven took + Merasaf today + former old Merasaf's provinces (now Iron Hand Orogs, maybe not all but few at least) = old Merasaf was huge!
We're talking about 24-27 provinces. That's bigger than Tarwan Waste, and this is good land.
Unless they conquered some land since the separation, but I doubt it.

I agree, but it makes more sense if Yenininsky was a vassal realm - so technically part of Merasaf by some definitions, but ruled independently - otherise one ruler could never handle the realm.

I'd consider that maybe Yenininsky was all but uninhabited if the invasion was 2 centuries ago, but if that was the case then the Orogs would have claimed more of the land.

Maybe more inhabited in the west than the east? Or, a disagreement of the ruling factions which caused unpreparedness for an assault?

I'm starting to like this little brainstorming sessions.
