Kolaylns

Kolaylns is a city and regional capital in the fictional nation of Lenara, situated along the Kolay River in the eastern lowlands. It functions as a major commercial, cultural, and administrative center for the province of Arinor.

The name Kolaylns derives from the local language, with "kolay" meaning meeting and the suffix -lns indicating a place associated with gatherings. Historically, the site was known as a river bend where traders met.

The city lies in a broad river valley at about 120 meters above sea level. The climate is temperate with hot summers and mild winters; precipitation is concentrated in spring and autumn.

Kolaylns traces its origins to a 12th-century trading post established by guilds. It grew as a riverine market town and gained provincial capital status in the 16th century. The 19th and 20th centuries brought rail and industrial development, followed by modernization in the postwar era.

Kolaylns is governed by a mayor and city council and is subdivided into four districts. The economy centers on retail trade, logistics, textiles, and agro-processing, with the river port functioning as a logistics hub.

The city hosts an annual River Festival and is known for the Old Town, the Central Market, and the Kolaylns University. It maintains theaters, museums, and a botanical garden.

It is a rail junction with connections to neighboring cities and an international airport. The population is around 210,000, with a diverse community.
