Yanhay

**Yanhay** is the regional capital of the province of Yanhay and is Fanahria's 4th largest city in population size, after Pedranier, Vidinwen, and Jelvadin respectively.

Once the centre of the power of the famous House of Keats, Yanhay was the capital of the Vidin Empire's bread and basket governorate. It is also the site of the famous battle of Yanhay, where **Ayken Lovewater** defeated an army of 80,000 Imperial troops in the largest battle of Medieval Fanahria.

### Education

Yanhay is close to Fanahria's oldest and most renowned University, Oxbridge University, just a 30 minute trainride away from it. Furthermore, within the city itself, Yanhay University Campus, the country's 7th best ranked university is present. In 1992, the Yanhay Medical School II University, located right next to the central hospital and Polyclinic Metro Station, was opened. Yanhay therefore is renowned for its strategic location for students, which form a good portion of some districts. However, this has caused rent prices within the city to surge. Yanahy is also the city for the European University Programme called Erasmus, where foreign students come and spend 1 or 2 semesters inside the universities.
