The name of Summerset Isles

So the isles that make up the Summerset Archipelago are called Summerset Isles. We know that the second largest isle of the archipelago is called Auridon, and according to the teaser of the new chapter, the biggest isle is called... Summerset Isle? So does it lack a specific name, making it a Summerset Isle among several Summerset Isles in the Summerset Archipelago? Is Auridon also an isle in the Summerset Isles, then? It's like the whole shabang with United Kingdom, Great Britain, British isles, etc. and I'm a little confused by it.

Also, it appears like we'll be getting a whole bunch of lore about Queen Ayrenn and Razum-Dar, which is nice.

    Summerset Isle is the established name for the largest of the Summerset Isles. It is occasionally referred to as Alinor, which is also the name of its largest city, but that is only unfrequently.

    Yep, the largest of the Summerset Isles is Summerset Isle, also known as just Summerset, or "Alinor" to the Third Dominion.

    The three largest isles in the Summerset Isles are(in order): Alinor(kinda), Auridon and Arteaum.

    EDIT: Alinor is "technically" Summerset Isle but I personally will just be using Alinor.

    I wonder if the Chapter only involves the main island or if we'll be able to travel to the smaller isles as well

    Artaeum seems to be included as well.

    The Hawaiian Islands is named after the Big Island, also named Hawaii. Its not uncommon for a group of islands to be named after a larger island in the chain or group.
