The Viren Islands (/ˈvɪəɹ.ən/; Xindvâ: Tve Viren [twe vi.ɾɛn]; Virenese: Tue Weren [ˈtu.e ˈwe.ɾen]; Japanese: 羊諸島 Viren Shotō [βiɾẽɰ̃ ɕotoː] "the Sheep Islands") are an archipelago of eight islands that separates the Sea of Fortune from the Amujan Sea. They are currently administered by Aylongam as Viren Islands Prefecture. The South Island contains a large native population of sheep, for which the island group was named.
Geography
While the official UŊ geoscheme places the Viren Islands in the Land of Chaos, the Aylongami government's position holds that the islands are part of Thasusa for cultural, political and ethnolinguistic reasons.
North Island
North Viren Island is a long forested island which gently slopes upward from the southern tip, rising to a modest peak at its northern end, which is the tallest point in the archipelago. It is the second largest island in the group by area at 5828 m². At its southern end is a small cove.
South Island
South Viren Island is the southernmost island of the archipelago, and the largest by area at 6471 m². Most of it is covered in savannah, which is home to its native sheep population.
Sâyrengaad
Not to be confused with Sirenguard Autonomous District. For other locations named Sirenguard, see Sirenguard (disambiguation).
The larger of the two northeastern islands of the Viren Islands is known as Sâyrengaad (Xindvâ: [sɑj.ɾɛn.ɡɑːð]), named as part of a trend among several nations of naming remote islands after Sirenguard AD in Imerchal.
