Egertus is a large town in northwestern Nova Vaasa with a population of 3,940. It stands on the edge of Katsmund Canyon to the north and the cliffs of the Fortress Coast 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.[1][1.7]

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 Sydligdnar is 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 centered there[1.8] , presumably supplied with timber from Tepest via the Vaughn Dar and the Sydligdnar. The East Timori Road joins Egertus to Kantora by land, following the Sydligdnar back to the west.[1.9]
Politically, Egertus falls within the Heartland Duchy and falls under the control of the Bolshnik family. Its mayor takes her orders from Prince Othmar.[1.10]
