Delnisurna, literally Delni Island in Mirselec, is an island in the Lavgor Inland Sea that is under the jurisdiction of Serteni Province, lying about 82 km off the northern coast of the Serteni Peninsula. It has an area of 13.6 square kilometres, and a single village on the island houses a population of 330.

Notes

The island is most well known as the beginning and end of an important pilgrimage trail of the Risevan religion, as well as the profusion of shrines that stand in its thick forest. Much of the island is covered by forest, and within the forest paths more than two hundred shrines stand, some of which have been in existence since the ninth century DN. Even these days it is a very holy site for many Risevani; the fact that it has no temple in fact makes it more popular for worship (see article on Risevan religion for explanation). The forest itself, containing many trees more than 300 years old, is a famous tourist attraction, and recently a new jetty has been erected to accommodate larger boats visiting the island.
