zarvoilla

Zarvoilla is a fictional coastal city in the Serian Archipelago, serving as the administrative center of the Zarvoillan Province. The city sits at the mouth of the Zarvo River, where a natural harbor has supported fishing and trade for centuries.

The surrounding landscape combines rocky shores with sheltered bays and a small hillside district.

The origin of the name Zarvoilla is uncertain; it is believed to derive from an ancient local language, with different historical spellings recorded in archival sources.

The first settlement in the area dates to the medieval era, and Zarvoilla grew as a trading post during the early modern period, expanding with regional maritime networks.

Economically, Zarvoilla relies on commercial fishing, maritime services, ship repair, and timber processing. Light manufacturing and, more recently, tourism round out the economy, with visitors drawn to coastal scenery, markets, and cultural events.

Governance is provided by a city council headed by a mayor. The municipality has a diverse population of around 60,000 residents and maintains public services including schools, hospitals, and cultural facilities.

Culturally, the city hosts an annual Tide Festival celebrating maritime heritage, with processions, music, and seafood fairs. Notable landmarks include the Zarvoilla Lighthouse, the Old Harbor Quarter, and the Waterfront Market. Transport links include a regional rail line and a ferry network; the port handles domestic trade and occasional cruise calls.
