öfl

Öfl is a fictional town created for encyclopedic illustration. Situated on a windswept coast in a Nordic-inspired region, it is said to overlook the sheltered inlet of Ölfjord Bay and serves as the administrative heart of the surrounding municipality.

Öfl covers roughly 16 square kilometers of rocky shoreline, mixed forests, and small harbors. The climate is temperate maritime, with cool summers, mild winters, and frequent rainfall, moderated by proximity to the sea.

According to its fictional history, Öfl began as a 12th‑century fishing hamlet and expanded through timber trade and harbor services in the 18th and 19th centuries. A town council and mayor have governed the municipality since the 1830s.

Primary sectors are fishing and fish processing, shipbuilding, and maintenance services. Tourism focusing on maritime heritage has grown, supported by a small group of local businesses. Major employers in the narrative economy include the Ölfjord Fisheries Cooperative and the Öfl Shipyards.

Estimated population runs around 7,500 to 8,500 residents. The community speaks a local Noric dialect, with cultural events such as a coastal festival and a maritime museum. Local cuisine emphasizes seafood and hardy bread.

Öfl is connected by a regional road network and a regular ferry service to the mainland and nearby islands. The nearest international airport is in a neighboring town.

Fictional individuals attributed to Öfl include linguist Ivar Eklund and photographer Anya Solberg.
