Llanic

Llanic is a small coastal village and civil parish in the fictional nation of Caerland, situated on the eastern coast facing the Sapphire Sea. It has a long maritime heritage and a compact town center sheltered by rocky headlands.

The village sits on a natural harbor at the mouth of the Lliad stream. The surrounding landscape is a mix of cliffs, grassland, and gentle farmland. The climate is temperate with mild summers and frequent sea winds.

Llanic's earliest records date to the 13th century, when it developed as a fishing and trading village. A lighthouse built in the 18th century guided vessels along the coast. The parish expanded in the 19th and 20th centuries with agricultural and milling activity.

Today Llanic has about 1,800 residents. It is governed as a civil parish within Caerland's coastal district, with a parish council responsible for local services. It relies on shared services with nearby towns for education and health facilities.

The local economy centers on small-scale fishing, boat repair, and tourism. A waterfront promenade, craft workshops, and bed-and-breakfasts attract visitors in summer. The village is connected by a regional road and a modest bus service to larger towns.

Notable landmarks include Llanic Lighthouse, St. Brigid's Church, and the Salt Marsh Nature Reserve nearby. An annual maritime festival in late summer celebrates sea heritage with markets, demonstrations, and sailing events.
