Ptohlia is a great island in the eastern Askonian Ocean, bounded to the north by the Sea of Malankhas and to the south by the Chaos Sea. The island is largely tropical and semi-tropical. The northernmost tip is semi-arid, called the Azrad Desert. A chain of rugged mountains stretches from the south to the north. Most of the southern coasts are salt marshes leading into the sea. South central Ptohlia is dominated by the Sea of Tisselaph, a fresh water body.

The island has no central authority and is populated by indigenous tribes of humans, quirth, and other humanlikes. Zephasian and Hœrnectian legends report that anciently a great king united and ruled the entire island. Laugyathund's Isbajath took place on the eastern coast of the island in the late twenty fourth century, but is thought to have had no lasting effect on indigenous chaos cults. It not unusual for expeditions to visit the island and never return to civilization or to visit the island and discover nothing of note. In ancient times, the island was a source of gold, silver, and semi-precious gemstones.
