Arrhen

Arrhen is a small village and civil parish in the northern part of the fictional country of Veridia. It lies within the Nordhavn District, beside the Lira River, and is about 25 kilometers from Veridia’s regional capital. The surrounding countryside comprises farmland and patches of deciduous woodland, and the area is known for cycling routes and birdlife.

Arrhen is first mentioned in records from the 13th century, when it functioned as a feudal manor within a wider estate. The village grew during the late medieval period around mills and small workshops. The arrival of modern roads in the 19th century expanded trade, and Arrhen gradually diversified into farming, forestry, and light manufacturing. In the 20th century, population fluctuations followed broader rural-urban migration patterns, with some revival in later decades.

Administration and economy: Arrhen is governed by a parish council and is part of Nordhavn District within Veridia. The local economy centers on agriculture, a dairy cooperative, and small-scale manufacturing. The community hosts annual events, including a harvest festival and crafts fair, drawing visitors from surrounding areas.

Notable landmarks and environment: Arrhen Church, dating to the 12th–14th centuries, and Arrhen Manor, a former feudal house now used for cultural events. The nearby Arrhen Woods nature reserve protects mixed habitats and features walking trails for residents and visitors.
