Kestvale

Kestvale is a small town and civil parish in the Valley District of Westmere County, within the fictional nation of Eldoria. It lies in a broad river valley along the Kest River, about 40 kilometers northeast of the regional capital. The town had a resident population of approximately 6,500 at the last census.

The surrounding landscape is mixed farmland with pockets of deciduous woodland. The climate is temperate maritime, with mild winters, warm summers, and frequent rainfall.

Kestvale originated in the medieval period around a market cross and a watermill. It grew in the 18th and 19th centuries with textile and agricultural trade, and development accelerated after the arrival of the regional railway in the late 19th century. In the 20th century it diversified into services and light manufacturing.

Today the economy combines dairy farming, small-scale manufacturing, and local services. Local landmarks include St. Mary's Church (12th century) and the restored Kestvale Mill by the river, as well as the historic Market Square and nearby Kestvale Reservoir.

Administratively, Kestvale is a parish council within the Eldoria regional framework. It has two primary schools and a secondary college: Kestvale Primary School and Kestvale Community College.

The town is connected by the A32 road and a regional bus network; the nearest rail link is in Brookfield, about 12 kilometers away. An annual harvest festival in autumn and a weekly market are central to community life.
