Yendi

From the Lyorn Records of the Dragaeran Empire

This page is about the House of the Yendi. For the book, see Yendi (book). For the animal, see Yendi (animal).

The House of the Yendi is one of the seventeen Great Houses of the Dragaeran Empire.

The Yendi are known for the elaborate machinations, and their extreme subtlety. In fact, they put the "b" into subtle. It is axiomatic that only a Yendi can unravel a Yendi's schemes.
