G'Henna is now an Island of Terror, but it was once part of the Core. G'Henna and Markovia were displaced from the Core during the Great Upheaval.

G'Henna is a starving land of religious zealotry, where the populace slave to produce food for sacrifice to their false deity: Zhakata the Destroyer. The lord of the domain is High Priest Yagno Petrovna. Their religion states that Zhakata has two forms, the Destroyer - to whom they sacrifice all of their food, receiving only enough to keep themselves alive - and the Provider - the opposite of the Destroyer, the arrival of whom the G'Hennans pray for fervently. Cruelly ironic, Zhakata - like the Wolf God worshipped in Verbrek - does not exist. Generations of G'Hennans have starved themselves to death in hopes of attracting the Provider, but this will never happen.

The windstorms of G'Henna seem to have a special metaphysical significance, or in any case they constitute the only moments when the transformation that Yagno Petrovna visits upon those of the believers who displease him can be undone.
