Pomesand

Pomesand is a fictional region and cultural concept used in speculative fiction and worldbuilding. It is commonly described as a coastal delta zone where dry, sandy shores meet fertile orchards, giving the landscape its distinctive name.

The name pomesand combines "pome," a botanical term for a fruit type including apples and pears, with "sand," referencing the sandy delta terrain that dominates the region. The combination signals the juxtaposition of organic abundance and granular terrain.

Pomesand is typically depicted as a low-lying coastal delta with extensive sandbars, tidal flats, and a mosaic of brackish wetlands. The climate ranges from temperate to subtropical, supporting migratory birds and diverse flora.

In narratives, pomesand communities rely on a mix of fishing, salt production, and fruit agriculture. Local folklore often centers on flood cycles and harvest festivals. The region is popular in games and fiction as a setting that blends hazard with agricultural abundance.

In worldbuilding, pomesand is used as a generic placeholder locale to explore themes of ecological hybridity, resource management, and cultural exchange. It has no real-world administrative status and varies in details across works.
