Iristoya

Iristoya is the western continent of Abexilas, which is made up of many different islands.

Name
The name "Iristoya" came about through much debate between the natives and new arrivals of the continent, and a single wave of new explorers of the continent. The wave of new explorers immediately named the continent "Gexia" after user Kaykara posted a gif of the video game character Gex in the continent's chat, as well as the spooneristic meme "Say Gex". natives and most of the new arrivals preferred the name "Iristoya", naming it after the comet that initiated the War of the Comet in Rathnir/Eldham, and transported the Rathamites to Abexilas. The name "Iristorya" was first proposed by the player SerperiorXi and subsequently shortened by the player YaBoi into "Iristoya" for ease of pronunciation.

The island chain to the west of the mainland was named Gexas (north) and Gexico (south) as a compromise to the Gex minority; with the mainland being named 'Xrayven' as a salute to Infernis who had wanted a landmass on Abelixas named "Xrayers Haven" or variation of such.
