Furunos

Furunos is a fictional coastal city in the archipelago of Yorin, within a speculative world used in contemporary fantasy literature and role-playing campaigns. In the setting, it serves as the administrative center of Furunos Province and as a commercial gateway between inland regions and the sea. The city is noted for its natural harbor, rugged limestone cliffs, and a mix of historic lanes and contemporary streets.

The geography and climate of Furunos center on a protected harbor with hillside districts and busy quayside markets. It experiences a temperate maritime climate, with mild, wet winters and cool summers, influenced by prevailing winds from the sea.

In the lore, Furunos began as a fishing village in the 12th century and grew into a regional trading hub. It is depicted as governed by a mayor and a city council, with representatives from eight districts and a ceremonial assembly for traditional affairs.

The economy of Furunos centers on fishing, shipbuilding, and trade logistics, supplemented by light manufacturing and tourism focused on the harbor district. The port features warehouses, a fish market, and a maritime museum; a historic railway is mentioned in some narratives.

Cultural life in Furunos includes the annual Water Lanterns festival, with lantern-lit boats and night markets along the waterfront. Local cuisine emphasizes seafood, seaweed dishes, and smoked fish, reflecting its maritime heritage.
