Silverhaven

Silverhaven is a coastal city in Eldoria, a fictional nation. Located on a sheltered bay along the western shore, it serves as the administrative center of Northshore Province and functions as a major commercial and transportation hub for the region. The city is known for its reflective harbor waters and a temperate maritime climate.

Geographically, the bay provides natural protection for maritime traffic, while hills to the east give the city a distinctive skyline. Summers are mild and winters are cool, with moderation by the sea and regular fog in late spring.

Silverhaven was founded in the 12th century as a simple fishing village. Its fortunes rose with the nearby silver deposits and trading routes, which gave the harbor its name. The settlement expanded through shipbuilding, regional trade, and, in the 19th century, rail connections.

Today the economy is diversified: the port, logistics firms, and light manufacturing remain central, while tourism and services have grown in the riverfront and historic districts. The harbor handles both bulk cargo and containers, and the municipal government promotes waterfront redevelopment.

The municipality has about 127,000 residents, with a metropolitan area exceeding 200,000. It operates under a mayor-council system within the Northshore provincial framework.

Notable sites include Silverhaven Harbor, Moonstone Pier, the Silver Vault museum of regional archaeology, and St. Brigid's Cathedral. Regular events such as the Tide Festival celebrate the city’s maritime heritage.

Silverhaven is connected by national highways, a passenger rail line, and the Silverhaven International Airport, which serves domestic and regional flights. The port provides onward rail connections to inland markets.
