Etimology

The lands that make up the islands of Lisander were first called the Islands of Azhaar. However, with the rise to power of Lisander I, the first prince, there was a division between the islands that were "of Azhaar", and the large main island, which came to be called the "Domain of Lisander". Over the years, the Principality of Azhaar came to be called the Principality of Lisander.
