Sllä

Sllä is a fictional coastal municipality in the northern part of the continent of Eldoria, used in modern fantasy fiction and worldbuilding exercises. The name’s origin is uncertain in canonical texts, though it is commonly treated as a Nordic-influenced toponym within Eldorian lore.

Administratively, Sllä is the Municipality of Sllä, governed by a mayor and a town council elected every four years. The municipality covers about 28 square kilometers and comprises a historic town center, a harbor district, and surrounding rural areas. It lies within the Eldorian regional governance structure, with local affairs focused on fisheries, tourism, and cultural preservation.

Historically, Sllä traces its origins to the 12th century, when a timber-framed village grew around a natural anchorage. Fortifications were added in the 14th century, and the town experienced several periods of reconstruction after fires and sieges. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Sllä developed as a fishing community with a growing craft economy; in the late 20th century it expanded to tourism and small-scale manufacturing.

Economy and culture: The harbor supports commercial and sport fishing, and the town hosts a yearly harvest festival that showcases local produce and crafts. The Sllä dialect, a variant of Eldorian, is preserved in folk songs and oral history. Landmarks include the Sllä Cathedral, the Old Town Gate, and the Maritime Museum.

Geography and transport: Sllä sits on a sheltered inlet with rocky shores and a temperate maritime climate. Access is by road and seasonal ferry; the nearest major rail link and airport are outside the municipality.
