Yinyin (因音, Yin Yin, "Many Canals") is a town located in the middle of the Kuduk Wetlands within the Southern River Delta of the Yevak Tribe. Settled in 1100 CE, Yinyin is the most populous settlement within the Moiety of the Thousand Creeks.
Administratively, Yinyin is considered a village town with a population of roughly 1,000 as of May 2023. Currently, the town is experiencing a certain degree of autonomy due to the modernization reforms currently taking place in the town.
Yinyin is mostly known for the many canals that run through the town and act as waterways. For many centuries, Yinyin has acted as a point of trade between the Yevak Tribe and its neighbors, most notably the Anana Tribe. The town's culture has been described as mostly Yevak, but with some added unique traits.
History
Yinyin was founded within the Asitasi Grand Lodge at the beginning of the 12th century during the Kuxwéi Era. According to legend, Wou Záai, a well-known scholar and Naa Sàati from the Asitasi, ordered the creation of several canals and ponds using the nearby river delta to help facilitate water-based trade in the town, giving it the nickname Yinyin (lit. “Many Canals”). Following the expansion of the Yevak, the town came under Yevak rule in 1257 CE when the then Head of the Asitasi married into the Yevak Tribe.
In 1970, Yinyin was deemed a National Heritage Site by the Tribal Council.
In May 2023, Yinyin was opted to be the town in which Kuduk would test its modernization reforms.
Clans
As of the 2023 Census, Yinyin is divided into 3 Major Clans that make up the majority of the town’s population: The Clan of the Waning Moon, The Yinyin Clan of the Raven, and the Clan of the Midnight Sun. The oldest and most influential of these clans is the Clan of the Midnight Sun.
