fyz

Fyz is a fictional archipelago and sovereign state used as a setting in speculative fiction and tabletop role-playing games. It is commonly depicted as a federation of twelve inhabited islands organized around a central lagoon, with a mix of volcanic highlands, mangrove deltas, and coral atolls. The climate is tropical, with a rainy season supporting diverse ecosystems and a small-scale fishing economy that underpins coastal towns.

Historically, Fyz is described as having early seafaring communities that formed alliances and eventually established a federal republic. In most portrayals, sovereignty is shared between island councils and a central government located in the capital region, while the constitution provides for civil liberties, environmental protections, and a judiciary that blends statute and customary law.

The economy centers on sustainable fisheries, coastal tourism, and artisanal crafts, with a currency unit called the fyz in some works. Population estimates vary but commonly fall in the low hundreds of thousands, and Fyzian is the dominant language with several island languages recognized regionally.

Culturally, Fyz is characterized by maritime traditions, water-based festivals, and a cuisine emphasizing seafood and tropical fruits. Notable features in fiction include the Jade Reef, the Sky Temple, and the Floating Market of Tirth. Fyz appears across multiple media, with details often adjusted to fit each narrative setting.
