The second-most populous island of the Kettens, home to and named after its capital Sablos, and known as the first island that humans settled on when they colonized the islands. Well-known towns on this island include Liparo and Messide.
Much of Sablos Island is hilly, rocky, and forested, drained by a river called the Halia, which flows through Kyrion Forest. Near the river's delta is the city of Numia, and facing the island's southern bay is the city of Xios. The southern reach of the island is a sand dune desert called the Desert of Pliny, in which lies the settlement of Bone Town, beyond the Hedeos Mountains.
On the west side of the island the Ketten Royal Navy has a base called Port Tellio. The base, and the island more generally, is defended by a line of barrier islands upon which there are heavy cannon emplacements.
A broad range of low, old mountains called the Myrmrion Peaks curves down the island, being the source of the river. The Forest of Urios grows all along the eastern flanks of the mountains. The most common crops grown on the island are barley, wheat, and wine grapes.
