Imerte Province
Imerte Province (Mirselec Imerte denai), also known as Province 24, is a province of Risevne, situated in northern Masalne and often grouped as one of the three Northern Provinces. It borders Darnevgana Province on its west and northwest, and Tasenir Province on its south, while its east is a long coast facing the Elaspegian Ocean. The province also includes Ugatasurna, a large offshore island to the west. Its capital is the coastal city of Begarni.
With a harsh climate and mountainous terrain, Imerte Province is one of the most sparsely populated regions in Risevne; yet it is famed throughout the country, and to some extent throughout the world, as one of the major centres of the Risevan fishing industry. The many harbours of the coast, especially in Estagi Bay, are relatively sheltered from storms by Ugatasurna, and it is from these ports that the fishing vessels venture into the waters of the Dinezin Sea, as well as the northern Elaspegian, for their catch.
