Elavnic

Elavnic is a city and regional administrative center in the northern part of the fictional state of Veridia. It is the capital of the province of Lyria and serves as a commercial and cultural hub for the surrounding area.

Elavnic lies in the Lora River valley, with low-lying plains to the south and rolling foothills to the north. The climate is temperate, with hot summers and cool winters, and moderate annual rainfall.

The city was founded in the 12th century as a trading post on the Lora River. It developed into a regional market town and fortress site during the medieval period. The introduction of railways in the 19th century spurred industrial growth, and Elavnic expanded as an administrative and commercial center in the modern era.

As of 2023, Elavnic had about 118,000 residents. The local language is Elavnic, with Veridian widely used in administration and education. The city hosts cultural institutions such as the Elavnic Museum of History and the University of Elavnic. The annual Festival of Light is a notable local event, featuring music and crafts.

Elavnic operates as a logistics and service hub for the region. The river port handles commercial cargo, while a major rail corridor connects to other Veridian cities. Key sectors include manufacturing, logistics, and information services, along with tourism tied to the historic center.

The city is governed by a mayor and city council, with participation in regional planning networks. Elavnic International Airport serves regional flights.
