Ffasstet

Ffasstet is a fictional coastal town set in the northern archipelago of Eldoria. It commonly appears in fantasy literature and world-building guides as a representative maritime settlement.

The origin of the name Ffasstet is uncertain. Some writers suggest derivation from an ancient Eldorian phrase meaning "edge of the water," while others treat it as a commemorative to a legendary captain.

Located on a natural harbor with steep limestone cliffs, Ffasstet comprises three districts: Old Town, Harbor District, and North Quarter. The town features stone quay walls and timber-walled houses clustered around the water.

Ffasstet developed as a fishing village in the early medieval period and grew into a regional market center by the 12th century. It endured sieges and fires before modern administration stabilized the town.

The economy centers on fishing, shipbuilding, and crafts. In recent decades tourism has expanded, emphasizing the Tide Market and coastal walks. Local culture stresses seafaring skills, oral storytelling, and the annual Tide Festival.

The Gate of Whales, a carved arch at the harbor mouth, and the Lumen Lighthouse, restored in the 19th century, are popular landmarks.
