Genevelläs

Genevelläs is a fictional location that appears in the fantasy novel "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss. It is a small, relatively isolated village situated in a forested region. The village is known for its self-sufficiency and its inhabitants, who are often depicted as simple and resilient folk.

The environment surrounding Genevelläs is described as lush and green, with abundant wildlife and natural resources. This setting plays a role in the daily lives and traditions of the villagers. While not a central hub of activity in the broader narrative, Genevelläs serves as a place of refuge and a representation of a more pastoral way of life for the protagonist, Kvothe, during certain parts of his journey.

The village's economy appears to be based on agriculture and local crafts, supporting its inhabitants without extensive reliance on outside trade. The social structure within Genevelläs is likely communal, reflecting the close-knit nature of such a community. Its significance lies in its grounding influence and the contrast it provides to more tumultuous or sophisticated settings within the story.
