Originally inhabited by the Tef natives, the island started as a Kheteratan colony much like Busilar. It saw the rise of the Tef Republic after the fall of the Damerian Republic and eventually became synonymous with Eborthíl after Eborian Goldwaters settled there in the 1000s amongst the few small trading outposts. Seeing him as a liberator, the Tef natives quickly accepted his rule.
The island has seen strategic use as a port from which to control trade to-and-fro the Divenhal. Its location has given rise to the powerful seafaring nation of Eborthil due to its proximity to both Sarhal and Cannor, along with it being an island not permitting any invasion by land.
