Tennet

Tennet, officially the Kingdom of Tennet (Tenneti: Kughras Tennetkt) is a state in west Mhasifu. It comprises the Teneracht, a large island of the coast of Helan, and a continental part bordering Mesengir. Tennet has an estimated population of 7 million, most of which live in the Urkannad metropolitan area on the southern tip of Teneracht.

The capital of Tennet is Urkannad. Most of Tennet is sparsely inhabited and consists of savannah, steppe and rocky deserts. The southern half of Tenerachte is covered by forested hills, lagunas and wetlands.

History
The lands that are now Tennet were settled by Helani tribes thousands of years ago. The temperate climate and high levels of precipitation made it an ideal spot for agriculture. The area was contested by several tribes for most of its time inhabited by humans. Eventually, the Tenaar of Guzohmi, an area west of current-day Mesengir, settled the area and founded the harbour city of Urkannad.

For centuries, Urkannad was an important trading port that exported goods from the prospering Teher city states and the Shyrjahn colonies on the western Helani coast to Syrilgen and Cominore. It was also an important transit port where ships stopped en route from Atia to the Feidhirn states of Palikar, Pohnpea and Bodja.

In the 3328 Tavonaudai, a warlord from the town of Harasha in current-day Mesengir, overthrew the duke of Urkannad and founded the Kingdom of Tennet, named after the original founders of Urkannad. He seized control over all of Tenerachte and invaded the mainland, conquering large chunks of the Helani coastline, founding the cities of Tamsumas and Kaunnaar. His successor, Tavonaudai II, built the earliest conception of the Royal Causeway, the road over the muddy waters of the Helesbonta, the body of water separating Tenerachte from the mainland.

Starting in the 40th century, Tennet became an important transit port for commodities traded between Sornomali and the Urkannadi hinterland. The natural harbour and deep coastal waters made easy trading between Helan and Cominore possible. The Myanelamar-Tennet trade route became very important to the Tenneti economy.

The Tenneti railway, linked to the Qanaraq railway of the Helani desert, was built in 4269. It crossed the Helesbonta and connected Mesengir and Urkannad.

Tennet experienced extreme population increases in the last century due to its liberal character, job opportunities and lack of immigration quotas. Most of the population growth is accounted for by the growth of Urkannad metropolitan area. Tennet is often cited as the place to start over new.
