Zurhur (pronounced zurr-HURR) is the northeastern-most of the Akrotirian Isles, an archipelago on the southern edge of the Chaska Sea. It consists of two landmasses that are joined by an narrow isthmus less than half a mile wide.
With lower peaks and less rapid changes in elevation than the other Akrotirian Isles, the relatively more sedate, rolling terrain of Zurhur has led it to be the most populated part of the archipelago, though nearly all its inhabitants live in small, scattered villages. The only two settlements of significant size on the island are the coastal cities of Hatra and Tirazna.
