The core territory of Ossoria is comprised of an archipelago of over 200 islands, commonly referred to as the Ossorian Home Islands ('''''Oileáin Baile Osraí'''''). The largest of these is Oileán Mór (''Great Island''), the island occupied by the Kingdom of Kenlis which accounts for approximately two-thirds of the total land area of the Home Islands. Other major islands in the chain are Oileán Glasa (''Green Island'', Kingdom of Arless),  Oileán Fada (''Long Island'', Kingdom of Vadre) and Oileán Scairbh (''Rugged Island'', Kingdom of Fira).

The Scepter of Ossoria, which is the colloquial term for both the Monarchy of the High Kingdom as well as the executive branch of the federal government as a whole, is both the head of state and the head of government for the High Kingdom of Ossoria. The first High King, Cerball Ó Sionán of the Kingdom of Kenlis, came to power as a response to an invasion by an alliance of Shalumite nobles in the early 9th Century, compelling the Ossorian petty kingdoms to unite against the foreign threat. The Ó Sionán clan has continued to hold the title to the kingship of Ossoria through to the present day.
