Lemmelen

Lemmelen is a small, fictional village located in the northern highlands of a temperate region. It is primarily an agricultural community, with its economy centered around the cultivation of hardy grains and the raising of livestock. The village is situated in a valley carved by the meandering River Lyra, which provides a vital source of water for irrigation and fishing. The surrounding landscape is characterized by rolling hills, interspersed with patches of dense forest, and is known for its dramatic seasonal changes, with harsh winters and pleasant, short summers.

The history of Lemmelen is largely undocumented, with local lore suggesting it was founded by a small group of settlers seeking refuge from conflict centuries ago. Over time, the community grew and developed its own distinct traditions and dialect, though it has maintained a relatively isolated existence. The village infrastructure is basic, consisting of a central market square, a communal hall, a modest temple dedicated to the harvest, and a cluster of stone and timber houses. A single, unpaved road connects Lemmelen to the nearest larger town, which is several days' journey away. The inhabitants of Lemmelen are known for their resilience, self-sufficiency, and a deep connection to the land.
