Besaid Island

The only populated area on Besaid Island, the village is a small settlement which is famous for the fabrics and clothes it produces. Once long ago, it was a Machina City that was destroyed by Sin; the ruins of this city can be seen throughout the island. When Braska visited Besaid on his pilgrimage to defeat Sin, he thought the island would be a great place to raise a family and asked Auron to bring his daughter Yuna there after Sin was calmed. Although Auron could not fulfill this promise himself, he entrusted the task to Kimahri Ronso, who found Yuna in Bevelle and brought her to the island where she grew up with Wakka, Lulu, and Chappu.Besaid is the home base of the Aurochs, one of the six Blitzball teams of Spira. The Crusaders also have a presence in the village; it is they who are charged with guarding the Temple.Once the party has gained control of the Airship, should they decide to revisit the village, Dark Valefor will be summoned at the entrance and will attack. This is available only in the international and re-released Japanese versions.The village has remained much the same as it was seen during the time of Sin. It is still a peaceful place and for the most part has resisted the influence of New Yevon and the Youth League. Wakka and Lulu still reside here, now married and expecting their first child. Yuna is apprehensive about returning to the village as she ran off with little notice to join the Gullwings a few months before the start of the game.The arm of Yevon in Besaid, the Temple is where the Aeon Valefor is obtained. It is here where Yuna completes her studies and becomes a summoner.The temple Fayth is a young girl.When Shuyin took Vegnagun deep into the Farplane, fiends began pouring out of the temple. Without knowing what the cause was, Beclem decided to burn it down. However, at the pleas of Yuna, who wished to keep her memories intact, he changed his mind, giving them a chance to discover the cause. After Valefor (controlled by Shuyin) was destroyed, he agreed to leave the temple alone.
