Tabaris

Tabaris is a coastal city and administrative center in the fictional region of Valdor. Known for its natural harbor and river delta, it serves as the capital of the Tabari Commune within the Valdoran Confederacy. The city lies at the mouth of the Soren River and experiences a temperate, maritime climate with mild winters and warm summers.

The site shows evidence of settlement dating back to the late Bronze Age. During the medieval period it developed as a regional trade hub, benefiting from its harbor and river trade routes. In the modern era it expanded with port facilities, rail links, and urbanization, while preserving districts from several historical eras.

Tabaris is governed by a City Council and a mayor, with governance arranged to reflect the city's status within the confederacy. The economy is diversified, with fishing, logistics, and shipbuilding at its core, complemented by light manufacturing and a growing services sector. The port handles commercial traffic and cruise tourism.

Culturally, Tabaris hosts a mix of communities and languages, and hosts annual festivals at the Grand Market and along the harbor. Notable landmarks include the Old Fortress, Renaissance Dockyards, and the City University of Tabaris. Notable residents and figures include the poet Aelrind and engineer Miro Kess.
