nakkav

Nakkav is a coastal town and port on the southern coast of the island of Miro in the fictional nation of Aranthia. It sits at the head of Nakka Bay and has a sheltered harbor used by local fishing fleets and regional traders. The population is about 11,800 as of 2023. The town experiences a temperate maritime climate with mild winters and warm summers.

Nakkav's origins lie in the 17th century when seafarers from the mainland established a trading post. It grew as a fishing and shipbuilding center, expanded with coastal markets, and gained a rail link in the early 20th century. The harbor later adapted to tourism and light industry.

The economy centers on fishing, canning, boat repair, and small manufacturing. Tourism has grown due to the bay, seafood cuisine, and cultural events. Local cooperatives support fisheries, while crafts are produced in workshops around the harbor.

Nakkav hosts an annual Spring Harbor Festival with parades, seafood cook-offs, and traditional music. The local dialect blends Aranthian with coastal vernacular, and many families maintain maritime crafts.

The town has a municipal council, a small hospital, and primary and secondary schools. A regional college campus is nearby. Transport includes a regional airport 25 km away, a port terminal, and road connections.

Nakkav Lighthouse marks the harbor entrance; the Old Market District preserves 19th-century warehouses; Nakka Bay Nature Reserve protects coastal habitats.
