Vseil

Vseil is a fictional port town created for fantasy fiction and role-playing games. It is described as a coastal hub on the western frontier of the continent of Eldoria, facing the broad expanse of the Peloran Sea. The town sits at the mouth of a sheltered harbor, with quarried stone quay walls and timber-frame houses that rise along a steep cliff path.

The name Vseil is said to derive from an old Valaran term meaning wind-shelter, reflecting its function as a harbor refuge. In some sources, it is rendered with different spellings, reflecting regional dialects within the setting.

In the lore, Vseil grew as a trading outpost connected to inland caravans and sea routes. It is governed by the Coastal Council, whose members include guildmasters, harbor pilots, and the magistrate. The council rules through consensus and chartered laws, with the Harbor Master responsible for navigation safety.

The local economy centers on fishing, salt production, and shipwrights. The annual Saltmarket festival features barter trade, seafood tastings, and performances by fisherfolk bands. Landmarks include the Sea Gate, the Lantern Quarter, and the statue known as the Broken Anchor.

Vseil appears in multiple novels and RPG campaigns as a staging point for voyages to the eastern islands. Its political economy often drives plots involving trade hoards, tariff disputes, and harbor security.
