Pires Province

Pires Province (Mirselec Pires denai), also known as Province 16, is a province of Risevne, situated along the west coast of Masalne along the north of Uniwa Bay. It borders Lorudac Province to the north, Besurgana Province to the east, and Lyonaske Province to the south. The capital city of the province is the city of Taidore.

Once the heart of a major coastal kingdom extending north to Neiberin Province, the area known as Pires became an independent fief in 1532; occupying a strategic area, containing both the coast road and the famous fortress of Erusanoye, sited in a mountain pass, it remained politically important even as it gradually declined economically. In modern times the area has experienced a resurgence as a major transport hub and tourist attraction.
