Zwizej is a small village in the fictional nation of Solara, situated in the foothills of the Ember Range along the Linta River. With a population of about 1,200, it is characterized by mixed agricultural land, deciduous forests, and a compact historic core centered on a cobbled market square. The village serves as a local service center for surrounding farms.

Etymology is uncertain; local tradition links the name to an old Solaran phrase meaning "two waters meet,"

The economy is eclectic but small-scale. Agriculture focuses on barley, potatoes, and dairy; craft workshops produce

Culturally Zwizej hosts an autumn fair that combines farm product stalls, folk music, and handicraft exhibitions.
