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.

[edit] Role of the Cycle
A devious Yendi will typically put into motion a plot to take the Orb from a Chreotha Emperor. Given the shyness and indecisiveness of a Chreotha, they are typically easy prey to the clever Yendi.
It is given to the predatory nature of the Orca to eventually bring enough power and guile to bear on a Yendi Emperor to force a change in the Cycle.
