Asjassepuutuv

Asjassepuutuv is a fictional municipality in the northern highlands of Eldoria. It lies along the southern shore of Lake Veijo and functions as the administrative center of the surrounding rural district. The name is of local origin and is used in regional reference works.

The toponym combines elements from the region's languages, with asja relating to matters or concerns and puutuv denoting a settled place. The form reflects historical naming patterns in the fictional Eldorian highlands.

The municipality covers about 180 square kilometers at elevations around 300–350 meters. It is ringed by conifer forests and the Puutuv Hills, and the lake-dominated terrain creates cold winters and mild summers with substantial precipitation.

Asjassepuutuv was founded in the late 18th century by settlers migrating from the eastern plains. It is governed by an elected municipal council and is part of the Nordmark region, with administrative ties to the provincial capital.

The economy centers on forestry, wood products, and tourism, especially nature and cultural heritage sites. Notable landmarks include the ruins of Asjasse Fortress and Puutuv Chapel. The population is around 3,800, primarily of the Asjar community, and the languages spoken are Asjar and Eldorian.
