== Etymology ==
+
== Name ==
The Bright Sea is its original name. Since [[Idris]] split from [[Hallandren]], Idrians call the sea the '''Inner Sea''', to downplay its importance, since Idris was landlocked. Idris and Hallandren usually have different names for geographical features, due to the bad blood between them. However, in many cases, both names stuck, so Inner Sea and Bright Sea are used interchangeably by many.{{wob ref|6702}}{{wob ref|6964}}
