Rezgesébl

Rezgesébl is a coastal town and the administrative center of Rezgesébl County in the fictional nation of Valoria. It lies on the northern coast of the Valorian Sea, at the mouth of the Zeil River and near a chain of offshore islets. The climate is temperate maritime, with mild winters and cool summers; average annual precipitation is about 750 millimeters.

Historically, Rezgesébl originated as a fishing and trading settlement in the 12th century and grew around its harbor. It passed into Valorian control during the 15th century and underwent modernization with a railway network in the late 19th century, followed by port expansion in the 20th. The urban core preserves a mix of Baroque and Art Nouveau façades.

As of the latest estimates, the city has roughly 44,000 residents. The population is diverse, with Valorian and Rezgesébli as official languages; a local dialect remains prominent in street names and markets. The city serves as a regional hub for fishing, logistics, and increasingly offshore wind energy, complementing a small manufacturing sector and a growing tourism offer.

Important landmarks include the Lumen Lighthouse, the Old Market Square, and the Ardent Theater. The annual Festival of Sea Light attracts locals and visitors with lantern parades, maritime exhibitions, and live music along the harbor.

Rezgesébl is connected by rail to nearby metropolitan centers and hosts a regional airport serving domestic routes. The municipal government operates under a council-manager system within the Valorian federation.

Etymology: The name derives from elements in the ancient Rezges language, with rezg meaning sea and sébl meaning edge.
