Angleichen

Angleichen is a fictional municipality in the highland region of the northern continent of Aelmark. The name is derived from the Angleic language, meaning "wind valley," and is used in educational exercises to illustrate municipal profiles.

Located at about 900 meters above sea level, it sits among pine forests and limestone escarpments. The climate is cool-temperate, with snowy winters and brief, mild summers that attract hikers in the shoulder seasons.

According to legend, Angleichen was founded in the 14th century by migratory shepherds. It developed as a parish town and later expanded into timber and dairy trade during the 19th century.

The fictional demographic profile lists about 4,800 residents. The community is primarily Angleic-speaking, with a minority bilingual in neighboring dialects.

The local economy relies on tourism, small-scale forestry, dairy farming, and crafts such as wood carving and textiles.

Administratively, Angleichen is part of the Northmark Regional District, with a municipal council and a mayor elected by residents.

Notable landmarks include a limestone Stone Gate, a hillside chapel from the 15th century, and a riverside trail. The annual Wind Valley Festival showcases local music, craft stalls, and regional cuisine.
