==Lanis
Lanis Island is Dalmaghar's second biggest island. Overall the island is approximately 3 kilometers across; the left side of the island is under Morstaybishlian jurisdiction as Lanis and the right is Jarlsheimen, a [[Norgsveldet|Norgsveltian]] Overseas Territory. Within Lanis there are two settlements in addition to a number of scattered farms and cottages. Lanisbury, which has a population of 1,340 in 2020 is considered a town from a royal charter in 1890; and Fegistry, a village with a population of 511.
Heathlands make up a wold that separates Lanis with Jarlsheimen, it's average elevation is 150 meters and its peak is 207 meters above sea level. One river, the River Garrow flows from the wold heathlands to the sea. It's approximately 760 meters long and its mouth is about 7 meters wide. Lanisbury has Lanis Harbour and is made up of a primarily residential area with a minor injuries unit, a police station and a shopping center. Lanis has a ferry services that runs to and from Riberoe and Fort Virtan.

In the late 17th century Dalmaghar had been seized from the Norgsveltian Empire and Morstaybishlia sought to seize the remaining island outposts surrounding Main Island. In 1695, two Morstaybishlian ships engaged a small Norgsveltian ship, a battery and two dozen soldiers and took control of the island. Under threat from a revenge invasion, Morstaybishlia built on their seized battery on Heimsan Cape by upgrading it. The same year they built another on East Point, the easternmost rocky outcroppings and established a barracks in their new Lanisbury settlement.
The easternmost of the island has no permanent settlement and is open heathlands. On the small Ernst Cape at Fegis Cove there is a large red and white [[wikipedia:Daymark|daymark]], erected in 1689 by Ghenner Ernst. It is a rendered granite circular tower 4.8 metres (16 ft) in diameter and 6.4 metres (21 ft) high, set back to conical termination making it 11 metres (36 ft) high. It was painted white until 1838 but by 1845 had been painted red, and is now painted in bands of red and white. Despite its modernity, the daymark, alongside some prehistoric cairns, is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
Lanis has three churches: In Lanisbury it has a [[Thaerism|Thaerist]] and [[Asatru]] temple and in Fegistry a small Thaerist temple. St Eves in Lanisbury dates back to 1701. Dalmaghar held a series of surveys in Lanis in 2010, 76% of people are ethnically mixed Morstaybishlian and Dalmakhan, 20% are Norgsveltian and the other 4% are Meremain.
