Leffet

Leffet is a fictional town and commune in the northern Valorian highlands. The town is situated along the Leffet River, about 40 kilometers from the capital. The population is roughly 4,100. The local economy relies on small-scale agriculture, timber, and crafts, with a modest tourism sector around its historical center.

The settlement arose around a 12th-century monastery, Leffet Monastery, which influenced early growth. The abbey was dissolved in the early modern period; the town grew around the former monastery grounds. In the 19th century, rail connection expanded trade.

The town sits at altitudes of 300 to 450 meters; it has a temperate climate with mild winters. The surrounding countryside consists of rolling farmland and pine forests.

Leffet preserves a distinctive regional dialect; the summer festival Fête de Leffet features music and markets. Local traditions center on seasonal harvests and crafts, with a small, year-round cultural scene including concerts and markets in the old town square.

Leffet Abbey remains a central feature of the town, and Leffet Museum documents local history. A 16th-century town hall stands near the square and serves as a venue for municipal events and exhibitions.

Leffet is governed by a mayor and a town council, and forms part of Valorian municipal arrangements. The local administration emphasizes participatory budgeting and community engagement in planning and services.

Connected by a regional road network, Leffet is served by a small passenger rail line terminating there. Bus services link the town with nearby towns and agricultural districts.

Primary schooling is available in the town, with secondary education in a neighboring centre. The population is described as largely Valorian in ethnicity, with bilingual use of Verian and standard Valorian in daily life.

In fiction and media, Leffet appears as a setting in several novels and role-playing campaigns, where the river crossing and hillside farms are prominent features.
