Domvaldi

Domvaldi is a fictional municipality commonly used as a setting in fantasy literature and tabletop role-playing campaigns. Described as a riverside town with a historic market district and stone architecture, it blends elements of medieval and early modern design to create a compact, walkable urban core.

Geography and demographics are typically framed around a riverside location along the Valdi River in the imagined realm of Valoria. The climate is depicted as temperate and maritime, with a landscape dominated by the river, surrounding farmland, and foothill streets. In the fictional census used by writers, Domvaldi houses about 12,000 residents and functions as a local hub for nearby villages, supporting crafts, milling, and river trade.

History within the common lore places Domvaldi’s founding in the 12th century under the Domval family, with the town growing through trade and periodic rebuilding after floods and conflicts. It later secured a civic charter that granted a limited degree of self-government, leaving a legacy of durable stone buildings and a layered urban plan.

Economy and culture center on the Market District, where textiles, pottery, and river fish are sold. Local festivals include the Harvest Market and a midsummer procession, and the cuisine often features river fish stews and rye bread. Landmarks frequently cited are Saint Valde’s Cathedral, the Old Bridge, and the Market Gate, each linked to the town’s historic identity.

Governance is depicted as a municipal council led by a mayor, with transportation connections by road and river to neighboring settlements in Valoria.
