  Situated amid the tempestuous currents of the Qiren Ocean, the secluded island nation of Yei is a testament to the resilience of its inhabitants, the Bebikh people. This arid, rocky landscape, whipped by unforgiving winds and with scant resources, is a difficult place to call home. Yet the Bebikh endure, eking out a subsistence living from their barren homeland.   Yei's history is as rugged as its geography. Once subjugated by the powerful kingdom of Ek Jad, the Bebikh are now rediscovering their own cultural identity and forging an alliance with the Ghūd of Tifwa Akn. This allegiance, born of shared hardships and common enemies, extends to religious beliefs, with the Bebikh wholeheartedly embracing the worship of Jailindulayin, the all-seeing desert spider deity revered by the Ghūd.   Though illiterate and unlettered, the Bebikh are far from lacking in spirit or intelligence. Their turn towards faith is not merely a result of their economic and educational conditions but also a tactical move to foster stronger ties with their newfound Ghūd allies.   The island's sparse settlements — Dessib, the modest capital, and the somewhat larger communities of Aadhandhas and Xorkan — mirror the tough but tenacious nature of the Bebikh. Life in Yei may be harsh, but its people remain unbroken, their spirit as rugged as the rocky terrain they call home. Their hope of a better future, though as fragile as a desert spider's web, shines as brightly as the relentless sun over their island.
