Syllan, officially the Kingdom of Syllan (Ossorian Gaelic: Ríocht na Syllan), is a Kingdom of Ossoria located in the western portion of the Ossorian Archipelago.

Syllan occupies the Twin Islands (Ossorian Gaelic: Oileáin Nasctha), located in the east of the Ossorian Archipelago, as well as a number of nearby islands. The larger of the two primary islands of the kingdom is called Big Brother Island (Oileán Deartháir Mhóir), while the smaller is called Little Sister Island (Oileán Deirfiúr Beag).
