It's in the middle of a large tectonic plate, which has a few small
islands, but not connected to the supercontinent (altho it is heading
there, and in a few tens of millions of years will probably collide with
it) I generally refer to it as the continent, since, in the time period
I focus on, it's the largest landmass in the part of the world known to
the Kassi.
