Kynne

Kynne is a small town and civil parish in the fictional nation of Eldoria, located in the northern Lowlands along the Kynne River. It covers about 22 square kilometers and had a recorded population of 4,600 in the last census.

The town lies on a gentle plain with scattered woodlands and fertile farmland; the climate is temperate, with mild summers and moderate rainfall.

Kynne dates to at least the 12th century, developing as a market settlement for surrounding villages. The town hall, completed in 1730, remains a central civic building. In the 19th and 20th centuries, Kynne expanded with improvements to roads and public services.

The local economy centers on agriculture, particularly dairy and crops, complemented by small-scale manufacturing and services. Tourism is modest, focused on historical sites and the annual harvest festival. Key sites include Kynne Market Square, St. Mary's Church (14th century) with a square tower, and the Kynne Bridge crossing the river.

Kynne is governed by a locally elected town council within Eldoria's provincial framework. The population is predominantly native Eldorian, with small immigrant communities. The name 'Kynne' is believed to derive from older language roots related to kinship and community.
