rozlií

Rozlií is a fictional city-state in the northern region of the continent of Eldoria, appearing in fantasy literature and role-playing game material. The name is of uncertain origin, and in different texts it is attributed to various linguistic roots created for the setting. The city is commonly described as a cultural and commercial hub.

Geography and demography: Rozlií sits on a high plateau with a river called Silverflow and is surrounded by citadel walls and agricultural terraces. The population is depicted as about 120,000 residents, with a mix of artisans, merchants, and scholars. The climate is temperate, with short, wet winters and warm summers.

History: The city was founded in the late 9th century by a guild of merchants and navigators. It grew through trade and diplomacy, joining regional alliances and navigating several sieges. It achieved de facto independence after a century-long conflict, and in some narratives is described as a stabilizing force in the area.

Culture and economy: Rozlií is known for guild-based governance, public forums, and a cuisine featuring grain stews and roasted tubers. Rozliísh is the common language, with local dialects. The economy centers on textiles, metalwork, and grain trade, supported by a river port and overland caravan routes.

In modern context: The city appears in novels, tabletop campaigns, and encyclopedic compendiums of the setting, often used as a neutral political space or a stage for historical events.
