Estarisaa (Cisamarrese: Azarea; Hurmu: Azjareyja) is an island and people's republic of Sanama. Its capital and main city is Whanitori. It was administratively part of the Coastal Sanilla Region from 1672 to 1679 when it became a part of the Eastern Sanilla province. In 1687 it became part of the newly established Semisa region. Before the Kalirion Fracture and Sanaman independence in 1671 it formed part of Shireroth, associated with Brookshire but with a distinct insular culture and government of its own. The population is over 800,000 on an area of 3,576 square kilometres, giving the island a population density of c. 212 inhabitants per sq km.
Estarisa is a popular tourist destination due to its white sand beaches and mountainous forests.
Elwynnese prince Daniel Kalirion was brought up on the island.
While the indigenous name of the island is Estarisa (the etymology of which is uncertain and debated), the island was prior to the Kalirion Fracture and the independence of Sanama most commonly known by its Cisamarrese name Azarea. Azarea ultimately from the same root as the name of the similarly sized county of Ž, via Hurmu Azjareyja (rendered Azarea in Cisamarrese and Istvanistani). The Laqi noun of ž, although not etymologically native to Laqi, roughly means “Modanian island”, originally representing a hieroglyph of special, but today lost, significance. That special glyph can often found among the Khaz-Modan ruins on Ž, Azarea and various other islands and coasts of Brookshire and Yardistan
The Hurmu name, Azjareyja, can be divided into two parts, azjar and eyja. The first part, azjar, is the genitive of the Hurmu pronunciation of the Laqi word ž, and eyja is a poetic form for “island”. It is related to the Crandish aujo (as in the Vaan Aujoen), also meaning “island”.
