Hest

A large port city with about fifty thousand inhabitants in the Pandese Empire. 
==History==
Originally Hest was a small fishing hamlet, but in 268 Ollyway was plundered by the Nomads, and the trade between Dacria and the Blue Isles colonies moved to Hest from Ollyway. Ollyway recovered, and the two port cities were rivals until 511, when Zagyath conquered Hest despite its joining the Dacrian Union. Hest remained Zagy to 629, when Zagyath became part of Iluvar territory. Following the death of Ghorghis, the city was ruled by a local Zingari warlord till 695, when he was driven out by the League of Cityports. In 909 Nordacria seceded from the League, and Hest with it. In 1075 the city was conquered by the Pandese, and Nordacria formally gave up its claim to Hest (and Ollyway) in the peace treaty from 1108.
