Dzózó

Dzòzò or Dzaodzao (Adm.: ) is a volcanically active archipelago located 370km off the coast of southern Cadereu and north of K'tlagn. It is part of the Sunshore region. Dzózó is about 1710km in length but fairly narrow being only 220km across at its widest. Three-fourths of its land area of 135,000 km2 is contained within the two largest islands Chayazó (61,500 km2) and Sazzhezó (40,500 km2).

Etymology
The name Dzòzò is derived from a 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. There is no real equivalent in the languages native to the archipelago.

Geography
The islands making up Dzòzò are generally mountainous and some are volcanic. The tallest mountains are located on Chayazó where they reach heights of around 3,800 m.

Climate
Most of Dzózó has a mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters. The northern islands are generally drier and some parts in the southern islands have a more temperate oceanic climate. Due to the rainshadow cast by the major mountain range on Chayazó and the cold ocean currents in the eastern sea, eastern Chayazó is much more arid than the western part.
