Responding to a message I got this topic.
First, this is a fantasy game, so some people might need to understand the importance of playful banter and chill out a little.
Per older, real-world definitions of "continent" and "island", Australia was BOTH and island and a continent. Most newer definitions of both words make Australia exclusively a "continent." Australia benefits both from physical attributes such as it's tectonic independence as well as some nation's pride based political push. (Australians seem to frown on being called an "Island.)
The line between "island" and "continent" has to be drawn somewhere, and that somewhere is Australia. (Sorry Greenland, you're just the world's largest island).
BUT ---and this is a big but-- every day, colloquial phrases are often far from technically correct. So yeah, it's neither shocking nor incorrect for a fantasy people to refer to a fantasy land mass as an "island," even when it might be better suited to call it an "continent."
(And we're not even going to get into the number of mountain ranges in EK that suggest multiple colliding tectonic plates, or if Pluto is a planet.)
Feel free to discuss the game, but don't loose sight, it's a game.
