''Chakailan'' as a term most likely originates from an earlier version of the [[Telonaticolan]]i language, and most scholars believe it approximately means "bad soil" with reference to the region's generally poor conditions for sedentary farming. References to the region using this name or some variation thereof are first attested to by [[Levantia|Levantine]] traders who interacted with and traveled throughout Telonaticolan during the early 16th century. | |||

Chakailan occupies a mountainous position east of [[Varshan]] and west of [[Telonaticolan]], occupying one of the central mountain ridges that divides north central [[Crona]]. Accordingly, the country is primarily comprised of mountains and {{wp|highlands}} and has a relatively cool climate with strong winds blowing over much of the country. The mountains form a "V" shape at the southeastern and southwestern border of the country, separating it from the eastern highlands of [[Varshan]]. In the middle, a relatively flat but elevated region exists where most human settlement occurs. | Chakailan occupies a mountainous position east of [[Varshan]] and west of [[Telonaticolan]], occupying one of the central mountain ridges that divides north central [[Crona]].
