Siyihin

Siyihin is a fictional coastal municipality in the archipelago nation of Valoria. It lies on the southern coast of the island of Kora, facing the sheltered strait of Velin. The town is the principal harbor of the region and serves as a local commercial hub.

Siyihin covers about 78 square kilometers and has a temperate maritime climate, with mild summers and wet winters. The landscape comprises a protected harbor, mangrove-edged estuaries, and inland hills that rise to oak-dominated woodlands. The population is around 4,600 residents.

The economy centers on fisheries and fish processing, with small-scale agriculture in the hinterlands and growing service and tourism sectors during the summer months. Local crafts, such as basketry and boat-building, supplement household incomes. The municipality maintains a coastal promenade and a small dockyard.

Siyihin is governed by an elected municipal council, with a mayor and four councilors. It forms part of Valoria's southern province and collaborates with neighboring municipalities on infrastructure and environmental management.

The name Siyihin is said to derive from the Siyih language, reportedly meaning "harbor of stories," reflecting the town's role as a gathering place for mariners and traders. Cultural life centers on maritime heritage, with annual events such as the Wind Festival and a seafood fair.
