Kevaan

Kevaan is a fictional town commonly used as a setting in fantasy and historical fiction. In these works, Kevaan is located in the northern lowlands along a major river and serves as a hub for trade and culture.

Geographically, Kevaan is described as a compact urban center on the banks of the Silver River, with narrow canals in the older quarter and timber-framed houses lining cobbled streets. The climate is temperate, with wet winters and warm summers.

The town is said to have originated as a river crossing in the early medieval period and developed into a market town during the late Middle Ages. Its fortunes are tied to river traffic, bridge tolls, and the markets that gathered weekly.

Traditionally, the economy centers on crafts, trade, and services for travelers. Key products include pottery, textiles, and metalwork. Cultural life centers on the weekly market and a yearly Market Festival, featuring artisans, musicians, and itinerant performers.

Notable landmarks frequently described in fiction include the Old Bridge, the Market Gate, and the Kevaan Archive, a repository of municipal records, legends, and genealogies.

As a setting, Kevaan is used to examine themes of commerce, governance, and urban resilience, and has appeared in novels, role-playing games, and lore collections. Its details vary by author, reflecting its nature as a flexible fictional locale.
