Luitko

Luitko is a fictional town located on the northern Veridian coast, created for illustrative purposes. It lies on the delta of the Gjell River and functions as a small harbor town serving surrounding rural communities. The community centers on the harbor, the market square, and a 19th-century lighthouse. The population is commonly stated as about 6,000 to 6,500 residents.

History: The settlement dates to the early 17th century when traders established a seasonal post. It received municipal privileges in the late 18th century and grew through fishing and timber industries in the 19th and early 20th centuries. A modernization program in the 1960s improved roads, schools, and utilities.

Geography and climate: Luitko sits on flat coastal plains near marshy edges of the delta. The climate is temperate and maritime, with cool summers, mild winters, and regular sea winds.

Economy and culture: The economy relies on fishing, timber products, small manufacturing, and growing tourism. Local crafts include wood carving and basket-weaving. The annual Autumn Regatta and Market Festival draws visitors from nearby towns.

Governance and landmarks: Luitko is governed by a town council headed by a mayor. Notable sites include the Luitko Lighthouse (1862), the Old Market Hall, and the Riverfront Promenade. The town preserves a small maritime history museum.
