Limanya

Limanya is a coastal region in the western part of the fictional continent of Elaria. It comprises districts such as Portah, Crestvale, Mistwood, and Sunshore, with the regional capital at Portah. The area is known for maritime trade and cultural diversity.

Geography features a crescent coastline along the Great Bay, river valleys of the Lume and Nara, and mangrove-fringed shores. The climate is warm and seasonally humid, supporting fisheries, citrus groves, and timber production.

Historically, the Limari people inhabited the region, which grew into a port-centered culture during the medieval era. It later joined the United Republic of Elaria and gained regional autonomy after the mid-20th century.

The population is ethnically diverse, with Limari communities alongside inland and coastal traders. Limani is the predominant language, used in education and government, while a regional lingua franca supports commerce. Religions include sea-worship, Islam, Christianity, and local traditions.

The economy relies on fishing and fish processing, shipbuilding, and agriculture—citrus and olives. Ports facilitate regional trade, and tourism centers on beaches, markets, and historic harbors. Local crafts include ropework, pottery, and timber carving.

Governing structure consists of a Regional Council and a Governor within a constitutional framework granting limited autonomy. The government prioritizes coastal management, cultural preservation, and small-business development, while festivals, music, and cuisine reflect Limari coastal fusion.

Notable sites include the Old Harbor quarter, the Temple of the Sea, and the Sunshore Lighthouse. Mistwood Reserve protects mangroves and migratory birds, while annual sea fairs and seasonal markets showcase Limanya's cultural heritage.
