Sellisel

Sellisel is a fictional city used in speculative fiction and role-playing contexts, and is not a real place. It is commonly portrayed as the capital of the Lysaran Archipelago, a maritime region featured in multiple narrative works.

Geographically, Sellisel sits on the eastern coast of the archipelago's main island, where mangrove swamps meet rocky shores. The city is built around a natural harbor and features a temperate to subtropical climate, with distinct wet and dry seasons.

In the common lore, Sellisel was founded in the 12th century by settlers from the southern isles. It has alternated between independent city-status and external dominion, and is known for a landmark treaty, the Sea Accord, which formalized its autonomy and trade rights.

The economy centers on fisheries, shipbuilding, and crafts such as textiles and lacquerware. The city hosts markets, a university of maritime studies, and cultural institutions that celebrate a Harvest Moon Festival in autumn. It is often depicted as a hub of regional diplomacy.

Governance is typically described as a mayoral council under a constitutional framework, with a port authority overseeing trade and fisheries. Infrastructure commonly includes a historic old town, a modern waterfront, a light railway, and ferries linking the islands.

Sellisel appears across various works as a versatile setting for political intrigue, trade narratives, and sea-faring adventures. Its status as fictional means details vary by author, but it is generally treated as a bustling, cosmopolitan maritime city.
