okkal

Okkal is a fictional coastal city and administrative center of the Okkal District in Valoria, a nation in the Veridian archipelago. The name derives from the Okkali language, meaning "harbor of traders".

The city sits on a natural harbor along the eastern coast, with a tropical maritime climate, hot summers, mild winters, and a rainy season from May to October.

Okkal originated as a trading post established in the 9th century by seafarers from the northern isles. It grew into a regional capital under successive maritime powers and joined the Valorian federation in 1885. Modern reforms in the late 20th century expanded infrastructure and governance.

Its economy is anchored by a busy port handling cargo and passenger traffic, along with shipbuilding and repair, commercial fishing, timber processing, and a growing waterfront tourism sector centered on markets and promenades.

The population is multiethnic, with Okkali and Valorian as primary languages. The city hosts festivals such as the Sea Festival and Night Market, and its cuisine blends coastal fish, coconut, and spice.

Notable sites include Okkal Fort, Tide Market, and Sea Garden. Okkal is connected by ferry routes to neighboring islands and has a regional rail link to the capital.
