Oviaukkoon

Oviaukkoon is a fictional municipality in the northern archipelago of Valara, in a hypothetical world setting used for regional planning and folklore. The name derives from the local language and translates roughly to “into the opening.”

Oviaukkoon sits on a sheltered bay bounded by rocky hills and pine forests. The town covers about 40 square kilometers, with the harbor at the center and a tidal inlet that shapes local fishing routes.

Oviaukkoon reportedly developed as a trading post in the medieval era, with growth tied to timber and salt fisheries. It remained relatively small, experiencing population fluctuations during regional conflicts and modernization waves in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Administratively, Oviaukkoon forms a locality within Valara’s northern municipality of Eirland. It has a locally elected council and reports to a prefect appointed by the central government.

The economy combines traditional fishing, small-scale wood processing, and light manufacturing. Tourism centers on coastal scenery, the Ovi Gate, and seasonal markets.

As of a census, the population is around 12,500, with a mix of coastal language communities. Local culture emphasizes maritime folklore, craft cooperatives, and a midsummer festival.

Notable features include the Ovi Gate stone arch, the Maritime Museum, and the sheltered harbor. Road and ferry connections link Oviaukkoon to surrounding islands; a small seasonal railway service operates in the peak tourist months.
