The Chissian Isles (pronounced CHIH-see-an) are a pair of islands in the Sea of Ersas roughly 60 miles south of the Tanerde Strait. The larger of the two, usually referred to as Chissian Major, is roughly 15 miles long 10 and miles wide, while the smaller, Chissian Minor, is roughly 8 miles long and barely a mile wide.
Tranquil islands with picturesque beaches and mild climates, the Chissian Isles are favorite retreats of the wealthy senatorial families of Viridia, many of whom maintain villas there. The easy travel - about 180 miles by sea - between Ilirnas and the isles has led some senators to consider these villas as their primary residences, rarely returning to their families estates elsewhere in the Dominion.
