Novaricass

Novaricass is a small coastal settlement situated on the eastern shore of the fictional continent of Aralith, within the province of Lumin. The town lies approximately 45 kilometers south of the provincial capital, Aradune, and is accessible via the main roadway that runs along the northern coastline. Its geographic coordinates place it at an elevation of roughly 12 meters above sea level, and its climate is classified as temperate maritime, with mild winters and warm, humid summers.

The history of Novaricass dates back to the early 5th century, when it was established as a fishing village by the indigenous Fylth people. During the Luminian Empire's expansion in the late 6th century, the settlement was incorporated into the empire's maritime trade network, largely as a provisioning point for naval expeditions. In the 12th century, a series of earthquakes prompted significant reconstruction efforts, shifting the town's center away from the low-lying harbor area. By the early modern period, Novaricass had become a modest hub for salt production, with artisans crafting the region's famed "Lumin Salt Tablets."

The town's contemporary economy is focused on fishing, salt extraction, and tourism. The annual Novaricass Fish Festival attracts visitors from across Aralith and showcases local delicacies, traditional music, and maritime folklore. Demographically, the population is approximately 3,200 residents, consisting primarily of the Fylth and Luminian peoples. The official language is Luminese, with Fylth dialect commonly spoken in rural zones. Cultural practices are a blend of seafaring traditions and agrarian festivals, preserving a unique local identity that reflects the town's historical resilience.
