Lagede

Lagede is a fictional municipality in the archipelago nation of Valoria. It lies on the eastern coast of the island of Lir, with a shoreline that includes rocky coves and sandy beaches. The population is described as around 3,200 residents.

The name Lagede is derived from Valorian roots meaning water edge, reflecting its coastal position. The term first appears in regional oral histories dating to the 14th century in literary sources.

Lagede traces its founding to a coastal trading post established by merchants in the early 15th century. It developed as a craft and fishing center, with influences from neighboring islands. The town hosts an annual harvest festival celebrating fishing, crafts, and sea lore.

The local economy centers on small-scale fisheries, boatbuilding, and textile weaving. Early architecture includes wooden houses with decorative eaves and basalt-stone lighthouses. The Lagede Mill, a water-powered facility from the 17th century, remains a heritage site.

Today, Lagede emphasizes ecotourism and cultural preservation. Visitors come for coastal trails, the historic harbor, and the annual festival. Administratively, Lagede is part of Valoria's Northeastern Province and is governed by a mayor and council.
