Egertus is a town in northwestern Nova Vaasa with a population of 3,940. It stands on the edge of Katsmund Canyon to the north and the Fortress Cliffs above Guldstrand Beach to the east. The Sydligdnar reaches the Nocturnal Sea via the canyon next to the beach. The north wall of the canyon is the southern limit of the Ehrendton.
The Sydligdnar is navigable, although with difficulty in both directions owing to its current, by small ships between the docks at Kantora and the sea, with cargos being transferred to and from larger vessels at the docks of Guldstrand Beach.
The Sydligdnaris too deep to be forded. Bridges consistent with small ships pose an engineering problem, but none are mentioned, so ferry service for crossing at its mouth would make sense. A ferry service is known to exist between the docks at Kantora and those at Guldstrand Beach.
On the opposite side of the river mouth lies Skibbygger Beach. The flourishing Vaasi shipbuilding business is centred there, presumably supplied with timber from Tepest via the Vaughn Dar and the Sydligdnar.
Politically, Egertus falls within the Heartland Duchy and falls under the control of the Bolshnik family. Its mayor takes his orders from Prince Othmar.
