History
The first historical mention of Neiberin Province dates to around 730 DN, when it is said to be part of a kingdom along the western coast of Masalne known as Nadogal; as a province then Neiberin included not just modern day Neiberin, but also part of the Barnisa Hormagos which now form the western third of Hyomeniga Province. Though it was part of that kingdom, it was relatively desolate except for its coast and the fishing settlements thereon.
In the age of the Masal Kingdom, from 1027 onwards, Neiberin province was called Elsange, while its borders were redrawn such that it became a purely coastal province, much more like its present borders. With the founding of the kingdom and the increase in trade between the north and the south, Neiberin profited and grew as a conduit for goods from north and south, providing way-stations on the coastal roads. In 1091 the town of Bermisaye was officially founded, though Elsange's capital for the era remained in the town of Nosad.
