Fent

The Fent, like the Nerek, Faraed, and Tarthenal, were a people assimilated by the Letherii Empire.Midnight Tides, Glossary They had once occupied the region where the Letherii built Trate.Midnight Tides, Chapter 16, Epigraph Dissolute remnants of their culture could still be found sold as curios in Trate's markets, including holy icons and relics, talking sticks of chiefs, medicine bags of Shamans, and Fent ancestor chests with the bones still in them.Midnight Tides, Chapter 19 Those Fent that the Letherii enslaved were scattered throughout the empire far from their traditional homelands.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 6, US HC p.149
Early Fent maps showed their lands had once stretched for leagues into the ocean beyond their current coastlines. The Fent's founding villages were now under hundreds of spans of water. The Fent prophesied that sea spirits would one day rise, lifting the seas to claim the sky and drown the entire world.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 6, US HC p.139
The Fent were the first people to meet the earliest arriving First Empire colonists who eventually became known as the Letherii. When the Letherii ships crossed the sea and entered the waters near the Reach, Fent canoes had ventured out to contact them. An exchange of gifts went awry leading to the slaughter of the Fent men and the enslavement of the village's women and children. The Letherii conquered three more Fent villages as they continued down the coast toward the mouth of the Lether River.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 13, US HC p.350 
The Fent thought Jarak birds were the souls of abandoned children left to die in the forest. They yearned for a family and home, but their rage drove them to destroy all they desired.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 16, US HC p.462
