Malkkengarun

The Malkkengarun Islands, also known varyingly as the Malkkengars, Malkken Archipelago, or Protozas Islands is an archipelago of 4 islands deep in the Endless Sea. They used to be inhabited by the Protozas, before many of them migrated to Ummarnu and became the Zashit. The islands are volcanic and have many jungles and ashlands.

Geography
All but one of the islands, Kuzakhvesungar, have active volcanoes, possibly being the most active known ones on the planet. The parts of the islands that aren't too close to the volcanoes are covered in lush jungle and some lush fields. It is theorized that these volcanoes are the reason the islands formed. The sun itself also is a big presence, elevating temperatures up to the 100s Fahrenheit during summer.

Kuzakhvesungar
Kuzakhvesungar is the northernmost island in the archipelago, and the only one with a dormant volcano. The northern side is covered with dense redwoods while the souther nside is covered in lush jungle and plains.

Akhverosgar
Akhverosgar is the southernmost island and has active volcanoes on its eastern side. The island is hot and receives much sunlight. it's western side is mostly field and ashland, where the lack of shade from trees makes it feel hotter.

Etymology
The name "Malkkengarun" means "Ancient Home Archipelago" in Zashit. "Malk" means "Very Old/Ancient", "Ken" means "Home", "Gar" means "Island", and "Un" means that there are many of a thing that makes up a whole other thing. "Gar" and "Un" together as "Garun" mean "Archipelago".

The Island "Kuzakhvesungar"'s name means "North Jungle Island" in Zashit. "Akhverisgar" means "Hot Sun Island".

The names were created by Pablito Elquagero, as the original island's names, besides Malkkengarun itself, have been lost to history. More on the root words on the Zashit Native People page.
