Bazet

Bazet is a fictional town commonly described in worldbuilding and speculative fiction. It is set on the northern coast of Veridia, a fictional nation, and sits on Bazet Bay, which offers a sheltered harbor for fishing boats and small merchant vessels. The town blends low inland hills with marshy estuaries along the shoreline and preserves a compact historic center.

Historically, Bazet began as a fishing village in the medieval period and gradually evolved into a local trading hub. The construction of the Grand Pier and the arrival of regional rail in the early modern era are often cited as turning points that expanded commerce and mobility. Through the 19th and 20th centuries, Bazet maintained its role as a small industrial and maritime community, adapting to changing markets while retaining its coastal character.

Today, Bazet’s economy centers on fishing, seafood processing, and small-scale tourism. The town hosts an annual Regatta and a Sunday Market that draw visitors from nearby areas. The local dialect, a variant of the Veridian language, remains an important aspect of community identity, reflected in songs, street signs, and tavern talk.

Notable landmarks include the Old Stone Lighthouse, the Market Clock Tower, and the Red Pier. Bazet is governed by a mayor and a town council, with a population commonly described as around 7,000 residents. Transportation links comprise a regional road, a rail line, and a municipal ferry service to nearby islands.
