Bermisaye

Bermisaye is a city in Risevne, the provincial capital of Neiberin Province in northwestern Masalne. It has a population of 254,791.

Geography

Bermisaye lies along the last segment of the Bermisig River (Bermisig Asaye), the portmanteau of whose name is the name of the city. It is famous throughout the country for its dramatic setting; it is set on a sloping plain following the course of the river towards the coast, while being surrounded on three sides by steep ridges and mountains which afford stunning night views of the city. Because the plain is about 31 km east-west along the river, but only 6 km wide, the city also follows this shape.

The river flowing through the city is mostly too shallow to be navigated by large craft, but along certain sections which are demarcated sports kayaking and canoeing are allowed. Every year several high schools and universities hold races along the Bermisig, including the famous Tri-Province Race where Lorudac, Neiberin and Hyomeniga provinces each provide two of their top high school teams for a six-way race down a 4.6 km stretch of the river.

History

The site of present-day Bermisaye has seen continuous settlement since around the 2rd century DN. The first historical mention of the town was in 377 DN, when records from the Census of Pretsanu listed "Parum, a town at the mouth of a river which is called Patimur", stating that it had a total of 1,225 households.
