Lirana

Lirana is a town in the fictional region of Ardent Vale, located in the central plains. It serves as the administrative seat of Lirana District and functions as a local commercial and cultural center for surrounding villages. The town sits at the confluence of the Sol and Mirin rivers, a location that historically supported trade, irrigation, and movement of goods.

Historically, Lirana began as a 12th-century market settlement and grew around a Market Square and a small chapel. It expanded in the late medieval period as a regional hub, with transportation links increasing in the 19th century following the arrival of a regional rail line. The modern economy reflects a mix of traditional agriculture, light manufacturing, and service sectors, anchored by a weekly market that remains a focal point for residents and nearby communities.

Culturally, Lirana preserves a medieval-to-post-medieval architectural heritage. Notable sites include Lirana Cathedral, a late Gothic-style church; the 17th-century Town Hall; and the Old Mill along the Sol River. The annual Harvest Moon festival celebrates agricultural traditions with music, crafts, and local food. The town also hosts a public library that maintains regional archives and serves as an informal community center.

Governance and infrastructure details indicate a town council that oversees local services, with representation from surrounding villages. Education is provided by a primary school network and a single secondary school. Lirana is connected by a regional road network and a short branch railway line, with additional bus links to neighboring towns. The climate is temperate, with warm summers and cool winters.
