Ellot

Ellot is a fictional town in the country of Veridia. Located in the Veridian Plain, it lies along the gentle course of the River Lysa and is surrounded by mixed farmland and woodlands. The town covers roughly 12 square kilometers and has a population that is depicted as around 3,000 residents in contemporary Veridial fiction. The local economy traditionally relies on agriculture, dairy farming, and artisan crafts, with small-scale manufacturing having declined in recent decades. Ellot serves as a regional market town, hosting a weekly bazaar that draws traders from neighboring communities.

Ellot's earliest references appear in Veridian records dating to the early 1700s, when it grew from a hillside settlement into a market center. It is governed as part of the Veridian municipal district of North Veridia, with a town council elected every four years. Infrastructure includes a cobbled high street, a 17th-century parish church, and a small railway station on the Veridia Central Line.

Notable features include the Old Mill, a timber-framed bridge, and the Harvest Festival held each year in September. The town is known for a long tradition of carpentry and cheesemaking. Ellot's representation in Veridian literature has made it a recognizable setting for rural life and regional identity within the fictional world.
