MnOilta

MNOilta is a fictional city and administrative center in the nation of Veridia on the continent of Elaria. It is the capital of Veridia's northern province of Loris and serves as a regional hub for governance, trade, and higher education.

Geographically, MNOilta lies along the Lysar River, about 70 kilometers inland from the eastern coast. The city covers a compact urban core surrounded by agricultural hinterlands, with a temperate climate and four distinct seasons. As of the fourth urban census, the population is estimated at around 118,000.

The etymology of MNOilta is debated. The most widely accepted theory traces the name to an ancient MnOilta word meaning "junction" or "meeting point," reflecting the city’s historic role as a trade crossroads. The city was founded in the early 18th century by caravanners and merchants, and it grew through river transport and later rail connections.

MNOilta has a diversified economy anchored in textiles, metalworks, and logistics. It hosts Veridia’s northern railway junction and a growing technology workshop sector. The city is served by MNOilta International Airport and a network of regional roads connecting surrounding towns. The University of MNOilta, established in 1902, is a center for research in engineering, agriculture, and the humanities.

Local culture blends Veridian and Mnolti influences, with yearly events such as the Harvest Market and the Winter Prelude festival. Notable landmarks include the Great Market, the Old Bridge, and the Central Library. The city maintains several museums and a public park system that emphasizes riverfront access.
