Angiinan

Angiinan is a coastal city and regional capital of Avoria, located on the southern shore of Angiin Bay in the Avorian archipelago. The city sits at a natural harbor that connects to major sea lanes, and its waterfront blends riverfront districts with hillside neighborhoods.

The name Angiinan derives from the Angii language and is commonly interpreted as harbor of echoes, a label that resonates in the bay, local quay areas, and place names throughout the city.

Angiinan was founded in the 13th century by seafaring guilds and grew as a trading hub due to its sheltered harbor. It later came under Avorian rule, underwent industrialization in the 19th century, and expanded with postwar modernization.

The city has a temperate maritime climate with mild winters and warm summers. It sits near mangrove wetlands to the south and rolling hills to the north, with several rivers feeding the harbor.

Governance follows a mayor-council system. The economy centers on commercial fishing, a shipyard, light manufacturing, and tourism, with the port handling cargo and cruise traffic. The city pursues sustainable development and cultural preservation.

Demographically, Angiinan is diverse, with communities of Angiinan, Verdan, and minority groups. Cultural life centers on the Sea Lantern Festival and the Maritime Museum, while landmarks include the Old Lighthouse and the historic city quay. Education and transport infrastructure support growth.
