Topraan

Topraan is a fictional port city in the fantasy world of Eldoria. It sits on the western coast along the Silver Sea, at the mouth of the Khor River, and serves as a major trading hub linking inland realms with distant maritime cultures.

Historically, Topraan began as a coastal fort that protected caravan routes and grew into a bustling harbor town. Its location fostered exchange between traders from inland kingdoms and sailors from overseas, making it a melting pot of cultures, crafts, and ideas. The city endured various conflicts and natural challenges, rebuilding its walls and harbor facilities to maintain its economic role.

The city is governed by an elected council and a mayor who oversee municipal services, trade regulations, and public safety. The economy centers on the harbor, shipbuilding, and a robust marketplace economy. Fisheries, salt production, and crafts such as glasswork and ceramics also contribute significantly to local prosperity.

Topraan is ethnically diverse, reflecting its status as a trade nexus. Common languages include Eldorian and Low Tarin, with multilingual traders found in many districts. Religious life blends coastal and inland traditions, and public life is marked by communal celebrations and seasonal markets. Festivals such as the Lantern Festival highlight the city’s cultural harmony and maritime heritage.

Notable landmarks include the Gate of Winds, the Grand Market, and the Lighthouse of Alera, which stands sentinel over the harbor at night. The city’s population is estimated around 60,000 residents.
