Regrian

Regrian is a coastal city-state in the fictional continent of Elaria. Positioned at the mouth of the Regrian Strait, the city has historically benefited from maritime trade and favorable harbor conditions. Its built environment blends granite walls, tiled rooftops, and waterfront warehouses, reflecting centuries of seafaring commerce.

It is governed by a rotating magistracy drawn from the City Council, with authority shared among trade guilds, landowners, and civic committees. The port provides customs, ship repair, and cargo handling, while regulations aim to balance commercial activity with floodplain protection and public access to the water.

Regrian's history traces to early coastal settlements that formed into a city-state during the regional trading era. It reached a commercial zenith in the late medieval period, then faced political upheaval and reform in the early modern era. In recent decades it has pursued constitutional governance and civic infrastructure development.

Key landmarks include the Tidewatch Lighthouse, the Grand Market, and the Library of Current Records, which preserves maritime charts and municipal decrees. The population is primarily Regrian with minorities from nearby settlements; languages spoken include Regrian and regional dialects. The city participates in regional trade networks and cultural exchanges.
