In the mythology of the Helevosien, Yendim was the first great city-state of the Godmen, which was destroyed at the end of the First Epoch. It was a city of wonders, the place where the Godmenplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigGodmen

The Godmen were the mythical inhabitants of a landmass contiguous with the modern Natorn Archipelago, said to be the ancestors of all the Thalsic peoples of the northern Civilised World. In the Emerald Epoch they created the first great civilisation, referred to as the Realm of the Godmen.

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.

According to myth, the city of Teranen was at the eastern boundary of the metropolis of Yendim, though this is deemed unlikely since the city would have to have been hundreds of kilometres across.

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