Sadllh

Sadllh is a fictional coastal city and municipal region in the archipelago of Nyara. In this setting, it serves as a representative example of a small maritime community, with a long trading tradition and a well-preserved historic core.

The name Sadllh derives from the ancient Nyaran language, where consonant clusters and vowels reflect seafaring symbolism. In local practice, the name is pronounced with emphasis on the first syllable.

Geographically, Sadllh sits on the sheltered harbor of the island of Lyrith, offering calm waters and a natural breakwater. The climate is temperate maritime, with mild winters and warm, wet summers.

Historically, Sadllh began as a fishing village in the 12th century, expanding into a port town after regional trade routes developed. It retained defensive walls and a bustling market district through the Renaissance before modern reforms changed the economy.

The population is around 25,000, with a Nyaran majority and several minority communities. Local government operates under a mayor–council system within the provincial framework.

The economy relies on fishing, small-scale manufacturing, and tourism. Cultural life centers on the Lantern Festival, craft markets, and waterfront cuisines featuring seafood, root vegetables, and herbs endemic to Nyara.

Notable sites include the Old Town Fortress, Sadllh Harbor, and the Lantern Market; the nearby cliffs host a historic lighthouse and a sea-walk that connects to the inland neighborhoods.
