Greyace

Greyace is a fictional town in the northern region of the country of Loria. It is commonly used as a setting in regional fiction and serves as a case study in urban development, governance, and regional culture.

Greyace lies along the banks of the Grey River, at the foothills of the Grey Mountains, with a temperate climate and moderate rainfall influenced by river and hillside topography.

Greyace was founded in 1724 by river traders who established a crossing and a timber yard. It grew through the 18th and 19th centuries as a local market town and received municipal status in 1829.

The town is governed by a mayor and a nine-member town council. The population is around 8,000 residents, with a diverse mix of families, farmworkers, and professionals.

Historically dependent on timber, quarrying, and river transport, Greyace now supports logistics, light manufacturing, agriculture, and tourism focused on riverside parks and the surrounding hills.

Notable sites include the Grey Gate historic district, the Riverside Library, and the Old Chapel, along with annual events such as Greyace Day that celebrate local heritage and community life.

The town operates two primary schools and one secondary school. It is connected by regional roads and a small railway line used for freight and limited passenger service; a local bus network serves neighborhoods and the town center.
