	As is the case with Viridia as a whole, most of the inhabitants of Ertan are human, though they are joined by large numbers of dwarves, half-elves, half-orcs, and smaller populations of other ancestries.

	Ertan is the most densely populated of all Viridian provinces, and as a result control of its cities can be hotly contested by the senatorial families of the Dominion, all in order to reap the benefits of their industry and trade. Many families take to underhanded means to do so, bribing or arranging less than legal arrangements with local or provincial administrators, or else engaging in political machinations against their rivals. The Viridian monarchy has long attempted to clamp down on such practices, but success has been limited, in large part as any reforms must be approved by the same senatorial families that they are intended to stop.

	Culturally, the province is greatly influenced by the traditions and practices of [[Hellea]]. Thousands of years ago settlers from Hellea were the first human arrivals in the region, and the impact of their culture has endured the ages, bolstered by close and regular contact with the land across the sea.

	Ertan encompasses all the lands around the [[Bay of Ertan]], a major body of water connected to the [[Sea of Ersas]]. It is bordered to the north by [[Attalea Major]], to the west by [[Tumunzar]] and [[Andera]], and to the south by [[~~Vitheoda~~]]. Almost all of Ertan is coastal - nowhere in the province is more than 50 miles from the sea. The shoreline is largely split between rocky and sandy beaches, including many natural harbors in which the port cities of the province are located.
