概要
"The Yertians (Yer-shans) were originally a group exiled from the mainland of Hafet. They were involved in several underworld activities. Eventually, they were rounded up, and to keep prisons from overflowing, they were exiled to an island that was recently found, but was thought to have nothing of value. The Yertians split into five groups on what is now called the isle of Yardin. Two of them eventually ended up with a high crime rate and a corrupt government. The other three were under a constitutional monarchy that was doing rather well. The two sections in ruin actually had the greatest amount of natural resources, so the three that were doing well eventually took it over. Other nearby and smaller islands were found, such as the Isle of Kade and the Isle of Kode. They were unpopulated, but eventually became provinces anyway. This continued until the Yertian Empire was formed. Their language was based upon the secret codes of their questionable past. Their empire used trade and their natural wealth in combination to become rather technologically advanced, and it still has some of the best schools of magic and technology today due to having copied methods and knowledge from almost every other nation in their world. They have a small military, but it is probably the best in the world due to their superior training and equipment. To this day, a large spy network exists that is said to be one of the most unstoppable and most efficient around, and it is under Yertian control. Needless to say, it is extremely well-off, and despite their seemingly aggressive nature, they have become, the Switzerland of their world. "(ホームページより)
