xFACTS & FANCY

This small item is actually the last island to be populated with at least one community.  Impostor Island got its name because no one wanted to accept its existence as an island.  The place was considered a bridge between Loveladies and Araujo and was referred to as Step Stone Island a name that was suggested for her.  Loveladies and Araujo were known for their lush environments, and Impostor was known as somewhat hostile in that it is mostly rock with very little room for community building.  It wasn't until 1901 that the island finally got its name, Impostor Island.  The name, Step Stone, was declined.  Since then, the small band of stalwart families that reside there guard its fauna with zeal and have increased its actual economic output by factors. 

Impostor is known for its scientific orientation, since the island was settled by the family of Doctor Zaneman Zee, who dedicated his life to the study of the physical composition of the island group and others.  It was his son, Edmund, who associated the "four points of impression" the controversial square indentations on Loveladies' Mount Venus, Crescent's Flatlands, South Trio Islands' Creekmore Mountain and Wild Horse's Gray Stallion.  Edmund also located Spin Point in No Such Bay, the approximately 30-foot diameter area that spins compasses counterclockwise.  Spin Point is also precisely at the center of the crossing of diagonal lines drawn from each of the impressions.
