Krimet

Krimet is a fictional coastal town in the northern region of the Republic of Alderlin, a setting used in contemporary speculative fiction. It sits on a sheltered bay along the northern coast and features a historic old town connected to a modern harbor district. The population is roughly 6,200 as of 2023.

The town lies on a low-lying coast with rocky outcrops and a tidal river running through the center. The climate is temperate maritime, with mild winters, cool summers, and frequent rainfall.

Krimet was founded in the 16th century by fishing families and grew through shipbuilding and trade. It underwent rebuilding after a major storm in the early 19th century and was later incorporated into the regional municipality.

The economy centers on fishing and seafood processing, small-scale manufacturing, and tourism. The harbor handles fishing vessels, cargo boats, and seasonal ferries to nearby islands. Local services and crafts supplement the workforce.

Krimet is part of the Alderlin coastal prefecture and is governed by a municipal council. The council appoints a mayor and oversees a small administrative staff.

Notable sites include the Old Lighthouse, the Market Square, and the Maritime Museum. The annual Seafood Festival attracts visitors from across the region and connects residents with traditional crafts.

Road connections link Krimet to regional centers. A regular ferry service operates to adjacent islands; the town also has a small airstrip used for charter flights.
