Fatenn

Fatenn is a fictional coastal city and administrative municipality in the eastern region of the nation of Elaris, in the world of Asterra. The name derives from the Fatennic language and is commonly interpreted as harbor of gulls. Located on a natural harbor along the Golde Sea, Fatenn has a temperate maritime climate and a long tradition as a trading hub.

The city traces its origins to a small trading post founded in the 9th century by seafaring clans. It grew into a regional port that connected inland markets with overseas routes, and over the centuries developed a fortified town center, a bustling market district, and a guild-based economy. In the modern era Fatenn expanded its port facilities and diversified into shipbuilding, seafood processing, and logistics, while investing in cultural preservation and environmental sustainability.

Governance is handled by a mayor and city council, with representation within the Fatenn Province and ties to national planning authorities. The local administration emphasizes port safety, urban renewal, and support for small businesses and cultural institutions.

Economically, Fatenn relies on its deep-water port, fishing and seafood industries, light manufacturing, and a growing services sector tied to tourism and research. The city promotes a green port initiative, aims to reduce emissions, and supports coastal resilience projects.

Demographically, Fatenn is home to around 70,000 residents, with a mix of Fatennic-speaking communities and neighboring linguistic groups. The cultural life includes a Sea Lanterns Festival, street markets, and a culinary scene centered on seafood and regional produce. Landmarks include the historic Fatenn Cathedral, the Old Lighthouse, and the Market Square, while the Fatenn International Airport and a regional rail link connect it to surrounding regions. The city hosts a university campus specializing in marine sciences and a technical institute focused on coastal engineering.
