Armid

Armid is a fictional coastal city in the archipelago of Lirien, on the northern coast of the continent of Eldara. It is the administrative center of the province of Miren and a major regional port, known for its deep natural harbor and a blend of historical streets with modern development.

Founded by maritime settlers in the 9th century, Armid grew as a mercantile crossroads. Fortifications were erected in the 14th century, and the arrival of the railway in the 19th century spurred industrial expansion. In recent decades, logistics and services have become central to its economy.

The city sits in a sheltered harbor with cliffs to the west and grassy hills to the east. It has a temperate maritime climate, with mild winters, cool summers, and frequent sea exposures that influence local life and industry.

The port handles bulk goods, containers, and seafood. The Armid Harbor Authority oversees navigation and dredging, while the regional university campus offers programs in maritime studies and engineering. Rail and road connections link Armid to inland markets; an adjacent airport serves regional travel.

Residents speak the local Armidian dialect alongside the national language, with a culture rooted in seafaring and markets. Notable landmarks include the Gate of North, the Old Market, the Lighthouse of Brine, and the university campus.
