Librie

Librie is a fictional coastal city in the realm of Veridia. It serves as the administrative capital of Veridian Province and acts as a regional hub for trade, education, and culture. The city unfolds along a crescent harbor and rises from low hills to the waterfront, with an estimated population of 42,000. Librie's origins lie in a twelfth‑century fishing village, which grew after a 1285 charter enabled maritime trade and municipal governance. In the industrial era it diversified into processing, manufacturing, and, more recently, services and technology.

Governance and economy: Librie operates under a mayor–council system within the Veridian provincial framework, with an independent planning department guiding sustainable development and waterfront renewal. The economy combines maritime logistics, seafood processing, light manufacturing, and a growing knowledge‑economy cluster around the university and tech startups.

Culture and landmarks: The city center houses the Meridian Market and the Librie Lighthouse, along with the Old Town Gate, a preserved medieval gateway. The annual Book and Light Festival highlights local publishing and illuminated art. Education: Librie University of Arts and Technology concentrates on design, engineering, and the humanities; a public library network provides regional access to resources.

Transport and demographics: The deep‑water port supports regional trade, while a rail link to the capital and an urban bus network connect neighborhoods; local bike lanes emphasize sustainable mobility. The population is diverse, with Veridian as the majority language and a number of immigrant communities contributing to a multilingual urban life.
