Kemík

Kemík is a small village and municipality in the fictional country of Verdania, located in the Rozvinia region. It sits on a gentle hillside at roughly 320 meters above sea level, near the Hroblá Stream. The area comprises woodlands and farmlands, with a rural population centered in the village core and a few outlying hamlets. The municipality covers about 15 square kilometers.

The name Kemík is of uncertain origin; local tradition links it to the word for stone, reflecting historic quarrying in the area.

Historically, Kemík is first mentioned in 1421. It developed as an agricultural community and, in the 19th century, benefited from a small railway spur that connected it to larger markets. In the modern era, the economy focuses on farming, small-scale crafts, and rural tourism.

As of the latest figures, the population is around 1,200 residents. The majority speak Verdanean as their first language, with a minority using regional dialects. The village maintains cultural traditions such as an annual harvest festival and a small folk music group.

Notable landmarks include St. Michael’s Church (built in the 18th century) and a stone bridge spanning the Hroblá Stream. Local administration is carried out by a municipal council and a mayor, under the oversight of the Rozvinia district authorities.
