History
The region located on the hills overlooking what is now Douarnenez Bay, once served as the necropolis of Ker-Ys, the great capital of the Great Kingdom of Kernev.
During The Fall of Ys, King Gradlon Mwar fled to the hills of Tristan Island in Douarnenez, taking shelter in the necropolis as the floods raged.

Geopolitical Boundaries
The Barony of Penn-Sardin is located on the same peninsula as the storm-tossed Lordship of Kab Sizun, which takes up the entirety of its Western border, generally considered to be where the storm-wall of the ever present Maelstrom begins, although this actually fluctuates, leaving several border hamlets in flux between the two. However, due to the treacherous weather along this border, few actually live or exploit the area for it to lead to disputes between the two neighbors. In the East, where the peninsula widens, the Barony is bordered by the Biskonti Glazig in the North and the Barony of Bigouden in the South.Physical Geography and Settlements
Penn-Sardin takes up the Eastern half of the Peninsula between Douarnenez Bay and Audiern Bay, on the far Western coast of the Kernev Plateau, jutting out into the Mor Bras The primary settlement in the region is the port town of Douarenez, a fishing village located on the bay of the same name, along the sheltered Poulavid River.Agriculture & Industry
The harvest and canning of sardines is a major industry in the region, which supplies the windships that land in Douarnenez Bay. The region is home to several shipbuilding facilities.
Garum fish sauce, made during the reign of Gradlon Mwar, is still made in the region today.

Gazetteer
Douarnenez - The largest town in the region takes its name from Douarnenez Bay on which it sits. The town is home to a number of sardine canneries, which produce much of the foodstuffs used on both long-term ocean voyages and, more specifically, on Windships. Shipbuilding and repair is also a major industry. The city is made of extremely narrow streets between packed houses, with numerous porches and lintels full of flowers when the season permits.
