Kerhar

Kerhar is a fictional town in the northern highlands of the realm of Eldoria. It sits along the Ker River, about 450 meters above sea level, and experiences a temperate climate with long winters.

The town's economy centers on timber, small-scale mining of local ores, and artisanal crafts. It is governed by a town council led by a mayor, and it maintains a market that connects with neighboring villages.

Kerhar was founded in the 11th century by the Valmar clans, developing around a fortress guarding a mountain pass. The fortress expanded in the late medieval period, and a major flood in 1594 reshaped the riverbank. A railway connection in the 19th century linked Kerhar to regional markets, spurring growth in carpentry and textiles.

The population includes families with roots in woodworking, mining, and shepherding. The Kerhari language or dialect is spoken by elders, while Eldorian is used in education and administration. The town hosts an annual Harvest Day festival with woodcarving, smithing, and traditional music.

Key features include the Old Fortress, a historical site, and the Kerhar Market, a hub for local crafts. Overall, Kerhar serves as a small, historically oriented community within Eldoria, illustrating typical features of a frontier town in a fantasy setting.
