The Jannids, according to the Historian Sulerem of Mengal, were an ambitious and expansionist dynasty several centuries past, who asserted control over the southern city states. They campaigned all across to the north up to the Pannion region. They were also famous for raising stelas that commemorated their victories recording the details of the battles they had won and the prisoners they had taken. Only in one campaign were they defeated, but this defeat proved to be their undoing, so utter and crushing it was. There existed one unpolished stone south of Morn that said "The Jannids fell here".
