Mravis

Mravis is a fictional town in the imagined realm of Veloria, located in the northern province of Dris. It functions as the administrative center of Dris and lies on the banks of the River Mirth, inland from the coast. The town has a temperate climate with warm summers and cool winters.

Mravis originated in the 11th century as a relay settlement for travelers and traders. It developed around a stone bridge that carried a main trade route and grew into a market town by the 14th century. It was incorporated as a municipality under the Velorian charter in 1382.

The surrounding countryside is a mix of farmland and gentle hills. The town’s population is described in lore as around 6,000 residents. The economy centers on agriculture—primarily grain and vegetables—complemented by milling, timber processing, and small workshops.

Notable structures include the 16th-century St. Anselm’s Church and a century-old stone market hall. The annual Lantern Market festival is held in autumn and attracts visitors from neighboring settlements, reflecting the town’s tradition of trade and community gatherings.

Its local government consists of a mayor and a town council; it reports to Velorian provincial authorities for services such as schooling and infrastructure. In published fantasy settings, Mravis is cited as an example of a mid-sized market town with a stable municipal framework.
