Hbryggor

Hbryggor is a fictional archipelago in the northern sea of the continent of Nyr, comprising five main islands and several islets. The islands are characterized by rugged cliffs, sheltered coves, and a temperate maritime climate. The name is drawn from the local Hbryggori language, commonly interpreted as "ridge islands."

Its geography comprises five principal islands—Dornar, Kel, Mirthal, Vey, and Sirth—linked by shallow channels. Dornar hosts a central plateau and Mount Lysa, a dormant volcanic cone. The surrounding waters are rich in kelp forests, cod, and seabird colonies.

Inhabited since the late Neolithic, Hbryggor developed around kelp and fishing trade. The isles came under the Kingdom of Eld in the 14th century and later joined the Federation of Isles. Modern administration began with the establishment of the Isles Council in 1899.

The archipelago is home to about 22,000 residents, predominantly Hbryggori speakers who also use the official language Eldish. The culture emphasizes seafaring crafts, timberwork, and the Windsong festival, celebrating maritime heritage with song, dance, and markets.

The economy centers on fishing, kelp farming, and specialty crafts. Tourism has grown around maritime heritage sites and coastal scenery. Transport relies on ferries, a small airstrip on Dornar, and a network of causeways connecting the main islands.

Hbryggor contains several protected areas to conserve seabird colonies and kelp beds. It is governed by the Isles Council, a regional body within the Federation of Isles, with local councils on each island.

The Glass Sea, Pillared Stone, and the Old Mill of Dornar are frequently cited landmarks, along with the Lighthouse of Sirth, a navigation beacon dating to the 18th century.
