Elnökn

Elnökn is a fictional municipality in the Veridian fantasy setting, featured in contemporary fantasy novels and role-playing game material. The town is depicted as a coastal-to-riverside community at the eastern shore of Lake Aelis, near the Verdant Ridge, with a natural harbor that connects to inland trade routes.

Elnökn was founded in the early medieval period by the Kharin traders and grew as a regional hub for timber, fish, and crafts. It experienced periodic upheavals during regional conflicts but maintained continuity through a fortified town center and a tradition of communal decision-making.

In most sources, Elnökn is governed by a town council of seven members; a mayor serves as the figurehead and coordinate among committees. The economy centers on fishing, small-scale forestry, and artisan crafts, with seasonal tourism driven by the lake and neighboring forests.

Veridian and the common tongue are used in administration and education, while local dialects influence street names and cultural practice. The town hosts an annual Festival of the Turning Leaf, featuring markets, music, and boat races.

Prominent sites include the Old Gate, the Silver Dock, and the Lumina Tower. Access is via a single main road, a shallow-water port, and a seasonal ferry service.
