Kint



Kint (Hagt: ) is a city-state in the peninsula of Enrrū and the largest and most influential city in Central Noco, as well as one of the most important ports of the western Nocoan coast. Hagt is most widely spoken language in the city-state.

Etymology
The name Kint was originally the name of a large village that greatly expanded into the present city-state of Kint. This name is derived from the Ninkerk substrate *ski-nip and is cited in old Classical Taot texts as meaning "stone village".

History
Kint started as a large village probably built by the Pre-Taot inhabitants of the area.

The area started to be settled by speakers of Proto-Hagt-Laa around 8400 AIA, who, after a few centuries, had completely intermixed with the much smaller local population, adapting various elements of their culture and language before they went extinct.

From 9000 AIA onwards, Kint became a city-state proper, as the aristocracy had developed and an oligarchical government led by a small portion of this aristocracy had emerged. During the following centuries, the city would continue to expand and attract immigrants from central and western Noco and culturally influence other peoples from the region, becoming the cradle of the central Nocoan civilisation.
