Yparisland

Yparisland or Yparis, also historically and often incorrectly called Bett's Island, Ybet's Island, the Yellow Island, the Yellow Isle, Ybes/Ebes/Iebes/Iephes/Ephes, La Insula Gial, or Ebezia/Ephesia/Epheszia, is an island situated far off the Southern coast of Halmsalf which is the homeland of the Ypari people.

Name

The island was first called Bedyisa (or Bedura) in the Tales of Creation, named after the goddess Bedyisan (also known as Bedura) who was banished to the island. During the colonial age of the Romasti Kingdoms, the island became a hot-spot for slavery and colonization. The island was dubbed "Bett's Island" after Ybet, a traitorous man living there who often sold the island's natives off into slavery for cheap prices. During the Wars for Bettian Sovereignty, patriots began to refer to the island as "Yparisland" named after the Ypari Revolutionaries fighting for independence.
