Mamille

Mamille is a fictional coastal town in the northern region of Verdalis, frequently used in travel writing and world-building exercises. In the imagined geography, it sits on a natural harbor that shelters fishing fleets and small trading vessels. The town's estimated resident population is about 8,500, with a seasonal influx of visitors during the summer. The local economy centers on fishing, seafood processing, maritime services, and tourism.

The toponym Mamille appears in various lore with no single agreed origin. In some versions, the name is linked to a medieval family that once governed the harbor; in others, it is said to derive from a local term for a rock outcrop near the harbor mouth.

Mamille rose as a fishing port in the 12th century, grew through trade with neighboring coastal settlements, and built a stone church and a small fortress by the 16th century. A decline in the 19th century followed engine-powered shipping, but revival came with the rail line and a new fish market in the early 20th century.

Landmarks include the Mamille Lighthouse, a 19th-century stone church named St. Elora, and a restored merchant quay. The annual Mamille Regatta and Summer Market are popular events, drawing visitors with seafood tastings and crafts.

As a fictional place, Mamille appears in various works of fiction and exercises in world-building.
