Kethaela is mostly a synonym for the Holy Country. The Shadow Plateau, Esrolia, Caladraland, the Rightarm Islands, God Forgot and Heortland are parts of it, and will be shown as "Kethaela" if they are the parts bordering to the main region shown in the map.
To the west, it might be debatable how far Kethaela extends. Mythically, the people of Wenelia are the descendants of Kethaa and Entru. Some are known to have migrated west from Esrolia, others seem to be native in western Maniria. On the other hand, neither the Only Old One nor the Pharaoh ever managed to gain a magical or mundane hold on western Maniria. This may mean that they did not claim to get sovereignty from Kethaa (but Esrola/Asrelia).
By such a definition, Kethaela might include western Maniria as well. However, nobody seems to use this definition, rendering it meaningless. When the sources refer to Kethaela, the area of the Holy Country is meant.
