lagalegir

Lagalegir is a fictional coastal town and administrative center in the nation of Thalor, on the northern coast of the continent of Veridia. In the imagined setting, it lies along a sheltered harbor and serves as the seat of Lagalegir County. The town is noted for stone warehouses, a functioning lighthouse, and a historic market district. The name Lagalegir is often interpreted as meaning "old harbor" in the Lagari language, though origins vary among local legends.

Geographically, Lagalegir sits at the mouth of a tidal estuary with nearby clay plains and pine woods. It is connected by a short rail spur to the regional capital and by roads to surrounding villages. The climate is temperate, with wet winters and mild summers.

Historically, Lagalegir was founded by fishermen and merchants in the 12th century and grew as a trading hub for timber, fish, and grain. A major fire in 1623 prompted rebuilding of the harbor and market, and industrial-era improvements in the 19th century expanded the port's capacity. The 20th century brought modernization of infrastructure and occasional storms that shaped the harbor defenses.

Economy and culture: Today, Lagalegir's economy centers on fishing, ship maintenance, timber trades, and tourism. The Tide Festival, held each spring, celebrates the harbor's maritime heritage and draws visitors from neighboring towns. The town maintains a small museum of maritime archaeology and a traditional cuisine featuring smoked fish and barley bread.

Notable sites include the Lagalegir Lighthouse, the Old Market Hall, and the stone Fort Gate. The local government operates under a mayor-council system, with the town council elected by residents of Lagalegir County.
