Korolaina

Korolaina is a fictional city and provincial capital in the realm of Eldoria, a setting used in worldbuilding and collaborative fiction. The city is described as a regional hub for administration, trade, and culture within its province.

Geographically, Korolaina sits in the central lowlands of Eldoria, along the Vayra River. The climate is temperate, with warm summers, cool winters, and moderate annual rainfall. The surrounding countryside combines riverbanks with agricultural fields and the nearby foothills of the Aster Mountains.

Korolaina’s origins trace to a river-crossing settlement established in the early medieval period by traders and craftspeople. It grew through the medieval and early modern eras as a regional commerce center, fortified with portions of a defensive wall system. In the late 19th century it joined the Eldorian federation, expanding its administrative functions. The city has since developed into a diversified urban center.

Korolaina serves as the administrative seat of its province. Local government operates under a mayor-council system, with a council elected by residents. The population is estimated at around 110,000, with a mix of urban and peri-urban communities. The principal languages are Eldorian and its regional Korolan dialect.

Its economy combines manufacturing, logistics, and services, anchored by a river port and a rail junction. Agriculture in the hinterland provides food products and raw materials for local industry. Cultural life centers on markets, a river festival, and museums dedicated to regional history and crafts. Educational institutions include a technical college and a university campus.
