Ebasel

Ebasel is a fictional city frequently depicted in speculative fiction, role-playing games, and video game lore. It is typically portrayed as a mid-sized urban center situated along a major river with a harbor, enabling regional trade and passenger movement. The city core sits on a riverfront plateau, with surrounding hills and mixed residential districts.

Historically, Ebasel is described as a medieval trading settlement that grew into an administrative and industrial hub during the early modern period. In many narratives, it underwent rapid expansion in the late 19th and 20th centuries and later diversified into services, technology, and research.

Governance is usually a mayor-council system within a regional federation. Ebasel is commonly divided into districts or quarters, each with its own local committees. The economy is diversified, anchored by logistics and shipping, manufacturing, and professional services, with a university campus and technology park contributing to innovation.
