The Northern Cantalle Islands, often abbreviated as the NCI or known as the Northern Toyanas, are a group of islands in the northeast Cantalle Ocean, forming the Ossinia Sea between them and mainland Euronia. Most of them are part of a long, partially volcanic island arc stretching from the northwest to the southeast, separated into two groups: the Tayans, which form the northernmost and westernmost islands, are divided into Saint Lorrain, Saint Astaba and Beck, Lillestola, Isla Ima, and Janapa; the Josettes, which form the southernmost and easternmost islands, are divided into Arrey, Lower Aseu, Marivista, and Ossinia. Together, these make up the Northern Cantalle Islands.

Geographically, the Northern Cantalle Islands are generally considered a subregion of Euronia. Culturally speaking, though most islands have indigenous populations, the majority were colonized by Quetana, Skith, and Elbresia in the 15th-19th centuries. In terms of geology, the Josettes are made up of continental rock, as distinct from the Tayans, which are mostly young volcanic or coral islands. The NCI's are frequently lashed by tropical cyclones, which vary in intensity.
