Quite possibly, yes. Here's my reasoning:
Sharlayan is on an Isle in the North Seas. According to the Tales of the Calamity, the Students of Baldesion (who are Sharlayan) study at a place called the Studium. In the MSQ, the Students of Baldesion disappear with the entire "Isle of Val", yet, several patches later Moenbryda shows up from Sharlayan. Which leads me to believe that, like Limsa Lominsa, Sharlayan may be spread out over many islands. The main city-state might be on one, while its territory extends to the others.
I think the "Northern Isles" referred to in both Sea Wolf history and when Sharlayans speak of their homeland are one in the same. It's possible they are two separate island chains... but... it just seems kind of silly to say "We have Sharlayan on the Northern Isles, but if you go further north we have the More Northern Isles, and that's where Sea Wolves hail from."
