Fogalomba

Fogalomba is a fictional city and administrative region created for literary and gaming contexts. It appears in various media and on fictional maps as part of the imagined continent of Virelia.

Geography: Located in the central highlands of Virelia, Fogalomba occupies a crescent valley carved by the River Loma. The landscape features wooded hills, terraced farms, and misty mornings. The climate is temperate with foggy conditions common in autumn and spring.

History: The settlement grew around a hilltop fortress in the medieval period and evolved into a municipal center by the Renaissance. It later entered a loose federation of towns and villages in the 19th century, retaining a degree of local autonomy and a distinctive administrative identity.

Government: Fogalomba is governed by a city council elected by residents, with a mayor acting as chief executive. The council oversees local services, planning, culture, and infrastructure, while broader policy is coordinated within the federation framework.

Economy: The economy centers on timber, textiles, and handicrafts, supplemented by agriculture—particularly chestnuts, berries, and dairy. Tourism emphasizes historical architecture, fogland tours, and traditional markets.

Culture: The population speaks a local Romance-based dialect alongside the federation's common language. Cultural life centers on the autumn Fog Festival, artisan markets, and crafts such as pottery, weaving, and metalwork.

Landmarks: Notable sites include Fogalomba Cathedral, the Stone Spiral sculpture, and the Glass Market. The nearby River Loma and surrounding hills are popular for walking routes and scenic overlooks.
