G'Henna is now an Island of Terror, but it was once part of the Core. G'Henna and Markovia were displaced from the Core during the Great Upheaval.

Overview

G'Henna is a starving land of religious zealotry, where the populace slave to produce food for sacrifice to their false deity: Zhakata the Destroyer. The lord of the domain is High Priest Yagno Petrovna. Their religion states that Zhakata has two forms, the Destroyer - to whom they sacrifice all of their food, receiving only enough to keep themselves alive - and the Provider - the opposite of the Destroyer, the arrival of whom the G'Hennans pray for fervently. Cruelly ironic, Zhakata - like the Wolf God worshipped in Verbrek - does not exist. Generations of G'Hennans have starved themselves to death in hopes of attracting the Provider, but this will never happen.

The windstorms of G'Henna seem to have a special metaphysical significance, or in any case they constitute the only moments when the transformation that Yagno Petrovna visits upon those of the believers who displease him can be undone.

The animals of G'henna tend to act strangely (and more dangerously) when compared to other domains. Docile in other places, the cattle of G'Henna are known to be predatory meat-eaters, and flocks of birds or swarms of rats or vermin are known to attack larger creature in large masses. The following animals may be found in G'Henna:[7]
