Manturi

Manturi is a fictional city-state that appears in fantasy literature and role-playing games. It is typically depicted as a coastal port with a long history of maritime trade and cultural exchange.

Located on a protected harbor along a crescent bay, Manturi's city center sits on limestone cliffs with a walled old town and a busy quayside district. Narrow streets connect markets, warehouses, and the harbor.

In most renderings, Manturi arose from an alliance of merchant clans seeking stability for trade. Its governance ranges from merchant council to hybrid systems that mix guild authority with noble or magistrate oversight.

The economy centers on shipping, textiles, spices, and metal goods, supported by shipyards and ropeworks. Culture emphasizes seamanship, guild networks, seafaring folklore, and seasonal festivals that celebrate the harbor's life.

Because Manturi appears across different works, details about its geography, politics, and religion vary. Authors sometimes situate it near fictional neighboring regions, maintaining a flexible canon.
