History
Founding
The original people to settle on what is now Yenagun were vena. It was never a city during this time - the climate was much too warm to attract vena in any large numbers.
They also encountered humans here, in shallow-water fishing boats from the west. When the humans discovered the sparsely-populated land, they quickly began to colonise it, naming the now-developing city Jovham.
Jovham
This human name for the city came from the River Jova (meaning 'vena-water'), which was believed by some to have mystical properties. Both names use the term 'fae' to describe the pale vena, likening them to mysterious, magical elves from their own myths and stories. Now, the term is considered distasteful and even insulting.
New World
Woodrow Lathson famously sailed from the bay of Yenagun on his quest to find new land to the east. When he returned, he brought knowledge of the tilkens and kliasta back with him.
Not long after that, the newly-introduced people that had previously been unaware of others across the oceans fell into conflict, and the Great War broke out.
Changing Hands
During the War, the tilkens invaded Yenagun from the south. In celebration, they renamed the city after the commander who had led the attack, Qutlläk.
Modern Day
After the Blink Treaty was signed, the city was officially given to the humans, though tilkens maintained political control along with their newly-acquired settlements along the eastern coast of Pfemba.
The tilken name, k'änläl qutlläkune, also stuck, and eventually became abbreviated to Yanlal-Kutla, and then Yenagun.
I really like the style of the history section. Demographics - who are Tilkens (add a tooltip or link to an article). The word "Mediterranean" has a specific meaning in real life and if your world isn't alternate earth you should find a different one. Generally, a very nice article

Thanks for the feedback! I'm pretty happy with how it looks for now, yeah. And I've adjusted both the word choice and the tooltip :) cheers!
