Lagunda

Lagunda is a small town and municipality in the fictional country of Veridia, located in the Northmere province along the Lagun River. The name Lagunda is derived from Veridian elements meaning lake and edge. The town sits in a broad river valley and serves as a local service center for surrounding farms and villages.

Historically, Lagunda was settled in the medieval period, with evidence of activity dating to the 12th century. It received a market charter in the 15th century, which helped establish its role as a regional trading hub. The arrival of a railway in the late 19th century spurred growth, and late 20th-century local government reforms reorganized the town into a formal municipality with expanded public services.

Geographically, the area features a temperate climate, rolling farmland, and nearby natural areas that attract visitors. The economy blends agriculture—primarily grain and dairy—with light manufacturing and regional services. Tourism focuses on the well-preserved historic center, the surrounding countryside, and access to the Lagun River and its landscapes.

Demographically, Lagunda has a population of around 6,800. Veridian is the primary language, with English widely taught and used in commerce. The town maintains a modest cultural calendar, including a summer harvest festival and a weekly market. Its landmark is the parish church, dating from the 16th century, which anchors Lagunda’s historical identity and local heritage.
