Dzózó

Dzòzò or Dzaodzao (western Ásademòko ) is a volcanically active archipelago located 370km of the coast of southern Cadereu and north of K'tlagn. It is part of the Sunshore region. Dzòzò is about 1710km in length but fairly narrow being 220km across at its widest. Three-fourths of its land area of 135000 km2 is contained within the two largest islands Chayazò (61,500 km2) and Sazzhezò (40,500 km2).

The islands north of Sazzhezò are home to the Zhandebasa culture while Sazzhezò and the southern islands are inhabited by a different culture. Both cultures engage in extensive maritime trade, mainly with the Clōnnequi and various cultures in K'tlagn though there is also significant trade on and between the islands themselves. The trade with Cadereu is especially important as it serves as the islands main source of tin which is required for the production of bronze. The copper used in bronze production is mainly mined from the islands themselves. This native copper is also traded with other cultures though most of it is used for domestic production.

Etymology
The name Dzòzò is derived from reduplicated collective plural of the proto-Ásademòko word dzago "island" (modern dzò) and is believed to have already been in use before the migration of the Ásadebasa onto Dzòzò to refer to the area.

Geography
The islands making up Dzòzò are generally mountainous and some are volcanic. The tallest mountains are located on Chayazò where they reach heights of around 3,800 m. The highest mountains on Sazzhezò are not as tall at around 2,500 m tall.
