Ebbetakte

Ebbetakte is a fictional town and municipality in the coastal region of Nordlandia, often used in speculative fiction and educational exercises to illustrate small maritime communities.

In typical depictions, Ebbetakte has about 4,100 residents and covers an area of roughly 58 square kilometers. The town sits on Ebbetakte Bay, with a rocky shoreline, a sheltered harbor, and tidal flats that influence local life.

Historically, Ebbetakte is depicted as founded in the 12th century by fishermen and growing around the harbor; over time it developed fishing, seafood processing, and, more recently, tourism and ship maintenance.

The harbor links to neighboring islands via seasonal ferries; the local economy includes fishing, seafood processing, small-scale manufacturing, and services. A light industrial zone supports boat repair and craft industries.

Culturally, the town hosts the annual Tide and Sea Festival, with traditional music and markets. Notable landmarks include the Ebbetakte Lighthouse and the Stone Church of St. Bryn, dating from the 16th century.

As a municipality, Ebbetakte is depicted as having a mayor and council, operating under a framework typical of coastal towns in Nordlandia.
