Fyedor (Wilsk: Fyedor; Seketese: Fjedor), officially the City Municipality of Fyedor (Wilsk: Vial-Gomil á Fyedor) is a city municipality the Seketese province of Wilsk. Located on the Aþenyor river valley along to southern Wilsk coastline, the municipality is the anchor of the Greater Fyedor Area. With a population of 402,872, it is the largest city in Wilskland and the 4th largest in Seketan. It is the largest non-Seketese city in Seketan, with 63% of its population being ethnically Wilsk, and a further 75% speaking Wilsk as their primary language, though it is also the most bilingual in Wilskland, with 68% speaking both Seketese and Wilsk.

The city was founded in 1242 as a trading outpost for wool within the then Szeye trade system, the town is one of the oldest in the Nelborne, with its oldtown being a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Local aristocracy would expand the towns power over the next century to form what would become known as the Duchy of Wilskland. In modern times the city remains the political and cultural capital of Wilskland. In 2012 the city hosted the quinquennial Nelborne Games.

Today Fyedor is a major tourism hotspot in the Nelborne, with over 1 million annual tourists.

Etymology

The exact origins of the name "Fyedor" is unknown, especially given its popularity as both male first names and town names in Seketan and Wilskland. The city was first documented under that name in a 1332 trade map, though other contemporary names included Þampa, Cálat, and Necipai. During the early days of trade map making, it was not uncommon to label trade ports with the name of a local customs or trade officer, and it is currently suspected that given the commoness of Fyedor as a Wilsk first name, it was just adopted as the name of the town after many customs officers named such.

Seketan 1924-Today

Ever since antiquity the Aþenyor river valley was populated with small farming villages, and thus formed the early Wilsk society. The first signs of settlement in the heart of todays Fyedor shows up in the 3rd century by proto-Wilsks. There is also disputed evidence of early Szejon settlement in the river valley, though this evidence largely disappears by the 4th century firmly making the area Nelbec.

Small signs of the start of the Szeye trade system show in the 11th century as Trjebian sailors and traders began exploring north for new trading opertunities. The first recorded existance of settlement appears in a 1242 Trjebian trade map under the name Ņad-agn, roughly meaning "nature port". With most trade coming into the region of Wilskland through this town, it slowly gained wealth and importance over it's neighbours, eventually cementing itself as the centre of its region after a 1367 trade war.
