Geography
The Kaphtor Islands is a group of islands that include several large islands and over a hundred small ones. While the island of Chalkós is frequently included as a part of this group due to being the largest island inhabited by the Kaphtori people, it is actually over 300 miles east of the other islands, and may reasonably be considered its own entity. Excluding Chalkós, the archipelago stretches about 400 miles from east to west, and a similar distance north to south.
