The Godmen set the first of the Fixed Stars in the sky due south of the city, so that travellers would always be able to find their way home.

In this period the sea level was 100m or so lower. According to legend the city was located about 300 km west of what is now the coast of modern Anrel, in the sea area now known as the Yending Shelf. The Yending Star is named after the city. The region is still rich in edible fish and seagreens, and there are many fishermen's tales of recovering strange artefacts from the bellies of fish and whales.

The name “Yendim” is believed to mean “place of arrival” in Ahngrit, one of the ancient languages of the Godmen.
